I forgot to buy her a present.

does it mean the same as

He forgot to buy her a present.

Or

He forgot the fact of buying her a present (=He forgot that he bought her a present)

?

The second meaning would be expressed more naturally as "He forgot that he had bought her a present" (which I just added as #12293180).
