× Yes, I have the straight of choosing gifts wisely according to the age.
✓ Yes, I have a talent for choosing gifts wisely according to the recipient's age.
The phrase 'the straight of' is incorrect and unclear. Use a noun phrase like 'a talent for' or 'a knack for'. Also 'according to the age' should specify 'the recipient's age'. This improves clarity and grammatical correctness. Suggestion: replace vague/incorrect phrases with common collocations such as 'a knack for' or 'a talent for'. Use possessive to specify whose age is meant.
× Like if I have to give a gift to children's I prefer to give twice or some coloring items.
✓ For example, if I have to give a gift to children, I prefer to give toys or some coloring items.
'Children's' is the possessive form and incorrect here; the plural noun 'children' is required. 'Give twice' is unclear and likely wrong; 'toys' fits typical gift examples. Also add commas for readability. Suggestion: use the plural noun 'children' when referring to more than one child and choose appropriate nouns that fit the context.
× Or if I'm giving a gift to adult I would give some itinerary according to the preference.
✓ If I'm giving a gift to an adult, I would give something practical according to their preferences.
Missing article 'an' before 'adult' (article error) and 'itinerary' is wrong for a gift; 'something practical' or 'an experience' is more natural. 'Preference' should be plural 'preferences' to match 'their'. Suggestion: include articles before singular nouns and choose semantically appropriate vocabulary.
× I usually give gifts to others on special occasions, for instance birthdays or wedding ceremonies or if any other event umm for instance, I have given my best friend a beautiful shoe set as a gift for her last birthday and she was amazed to have it.
✓ I usually give gifts on special occasions, for instance birthdays or wedding ceremonies. For example, I gave my best friend a beautiful set of shoes for her last birthday and she was amazed.
Redundant 'to others' can be omitted; 'for instance' used twice is repetitive. 'I have given' mixes present perfect with a specific time 'last birthday' — simple past 'gave' is appropriate. 'Shoe set' is unnatural; 'set of shoes' is correct. 'Amazed to have it' is awkward; 'amazed' alone suffices. Suggestion: use simple past for completed actions at a specific time and prefer natural noun phrases like 'set of shoes'.
× When I choose a gift, I always consider the age limit for as different ages have different interests so I choose the the gift according to the preferences.
✓ When I choose a gift, I always consider the age, because different ages have different interests, so I choose the gift according to their preferences.
'Consider the age limit for' is awkward; 'consider the age' is clearer. 'for as' is incorrect conjunction use; replace with 'because'. Duplicate 'the the' is an error. 'Preferences' should be linked to 'their' to indicate whose preferences. Suggestion: use clear conjunctions like 'because' and include appropriate pronouns to show possession.
× For example, umm last year I gifted my best friend a pair of shoes which she has mentioned to me once and uh, when she received the gift she felt very good and uh.
✓ For example, last year I gave my best friend a pair of shoes that she had mentioned to me once, and when she received the gift she was very happy.
In English, the verb 'give' in this context takes the simple past 'gave' or 'gifted' is less common. 'Has mentioned' (present perfect) is inappropriate for an action completed before another past action; use past perfect 'had mentioned'. 'Felt very good' is informal; 'was very happy' is more natural. Suggestion: use past perfect for actions that occurred before other past events and choose commonly used verbs ('gave') for clarity.
× Yes, I prefer giving handmade gifts for the ones that are very close to me and the one I love.
✓ Yes, I prefer giving handmade gifts to the people who are very close to me and whom I love.
'For the ones' is informal and 'the one I love' mixes singular with plural context. Use 'people' for persons and 'whom' as the object of 'love' (or 'who I love' in informal speech). Also use 'to' with 'giving' (give something to someone). Suggestion: use appropriate pronouns and plural nouns to match the intended meaning and 'to' after 'giving' when indicating recipients.
× I remember giving my best friend a handmade bouquet, having a chocolates and flowers and a beautiful arrangement and she loved that very much.
✓ I remember giving my best friend a handmade bouquet with chocolates and flowers arranged beautifully, and she loved it very much.
'Having a chocolates and flowers and a beautiful arrangement' is a fragmented and ungrammatical phrase. Combine elements into a single noun phrase 'a handmade bouquet with chocolates and flowers arranged beautifully'. Use 'it' to refer back to the bouquet. Suggestion: restructure sentence to create a single clear noun phrase and use appropriate pronouns for reference.
× I do not think that expensiveness represent a person emotions or feelings, although I believe that the things which are made with the hand and love specially are more veteran expressing feelings like a small handmade bouquet or a handmade letter.
✓ I do not think that expensive gifts represent a person's emotions or feelings. I believe that things made by hand and with love express feelings better, such as a small handmade bouquet or a handwritten letter.
Use 'expensive gifts' instead of 'expensiveness'. 'Represent' needs third person singular agreement with 'gifts' or rephrase; here 'gifts represent' (plural) or use 'expensive gifts represent' — corrected to 'do not think that expensive gifts represent a person's emotions'. 'Person emotions' needs possessive 'person's'. 'Made with the hand and love specially' is awkward; use 'made by hand and with love'. 'More veteran expressing' is incorrect; use 'express feelings better'. 'Handmade letter' is better as 'handwritten letter'. Suggestion: choose correct adjective forms, ensure possessives where needed, match verb agreement, and use idiomatic expressions like 'made by hand' and 'handwritten'.
