I love your little kitten!

- I'm going to make a special dessert for you tomorrow. I hope you'll like it. - This would be strongly preferred. The simple present would be understood, but it isn't quite right.

Thank you, AlpheccaStars. Stay quiet so the kitten won't wake up.

Yes, that's what the future tense is designed for!
But sometimes we use present tense for things that are planned and will happen in the near future.
