Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

Not necessary. I think the meaning behind the gift is much more important than its place. Even a simple gift can express your feelings if it met the person interest or need.

× I usually spend time thinking about what the other person like before buying a gift.
✓ I usually spend time thinking about what the other person likes before buying a gift.
Subject-verb agreement with a singular subject: 'the other person' is singular so the verb needs third person singular form 'likes'. Use 'likes' to match the singular subject.
× I prefer giving something useful rather than something expensive.
✓ I prefer to give something useful rather than something expensive.
Verb form after 'prefer': use infinitive 'to give' (or gerund consistently) to be idiomatic. Both 'prefer to give' and 'prefer giving' are possible; here 'prefer to give' sounds more natural in this context.
× I usually give gifts on special occasion such as birthdays, New Years or Christmas.
✓ I usually give gifts on special occasions such as birthdays, New Year or Christmas.
Pluralize 'occasion' to 'occasions' to match 'birthdays' (multiple events). Also 'New Year' is the common singular name for the holiday; 'New Years' is incorrect here.
× Sometime I also buy a small gift when I travel because I like bringing back souvenir for my family and close friend.
✓ Sometimes I also buy a small gift when I travel because I like bringing back souvenirs for my family and close friends.
Use adverb 'Sometimes' (with s). 'Souvenir' should be plural 'souvenirs' because multiple items are implied, and 'close friend' should be plural 'close friends' to match 'family' and common usage.
× The first thing I consider is person, intellect, and hobbies.
✓ The first things I consider are the person's interests and hobbies.
Original is vague and missing articles; better to say 'the person's interests and hobbies'. Also use plural 'things' and plural verb 'are' to match. 'Intellect' is not the typical collocation; 'interests' is appropriate.
× I also think about whether the game is practical and within my budget.
✓ I also think about whether the gift is practical and within my budget.
Context uses 'gift', not 'game'—likely a typo. Replace with 'gift' to make sense.
× I believe a thoughtful gift is more meaningful than expensive one.
✓ I believe a thoughtful gift is more meaningful than an expensive one.
Missing article 'an' before 'expensive one'. Use 'an expensive one' to compare nouns.
× Yes I have a few years ago I make a handmade but they cut for one of my friends is but not perfect but my friend really appreciate it because it show that I had put time and effort into it.
✓ Yes. A few years ago I made a handmade gift for one of my friends. It was not perfect, but my friend really appreciated it because it showed that I had put time and effort into it.
Multiple tense and structure errors: use past tense 'made' for an action that happened in the past; split into sentences for clarity; 'appreciated' past tense; 'showed' past tense to match; 'gift' added for clarity. Also reorder clauses for natural English.
× Not necessary.
✓ Not necessarily.
'Not necessary' is an adjective phrase; the adverb 'necessarily' is needed to modify the implied verb 'is' in this response.
× I think the meaning behind the gift is much more important than its place.
✓ I think the meaning behind the gift is much more important than its price.
Likely typo: 'place' should be 'price' when contrasting cost vs meaning.
× Even a simple gift can express your feelings if it met the person interest or need.
✓ Even a simple gift can express your feelings if it meets the person's interests or needs.
Use present simple 'meets' because the condition is general. Add possessive 'person's' and pluralize 'interests or needs' for natural collocation.
