✓ I always give gifts to my friends because on their birthdays I always send them a present that expresses my best wishes, and I think it's a good way to maintain our relationship.
Errors: repetition ('give give'), incorrect verb forms ('sense' should be 'send'), wrong prepositions/timing ('when their birthday' -> 'on their birthdays'), singular/plural and pronoun agreement ('my friend' -> 'my friends'; 'wish' -> 'wishes'), and awkward phrasing ('keep our relationship' -> 'maintain our relationship'). Suggestions: remove duplicate words, use plural nouns for general statements, use 'on' with days and dates, use 'send' for giving by mail/hand, and choose clearer verbs like 'maintain' for relationships.
× Well, actually I always give present to my friends during some Chinese traditional festivals because with some festivals had happened, we also hold some celebration to celebrate it and we also.
✓ Well, actually I always give presents to my friends during Chinese traditional festivals because when festivals occur, we also hold celebrations to celebrate them.
Errors: missing plural/s (present -> presents), incorrect verb tense/structure ('with some festivals had happened' is ungrammatical), awkward conjunctions and sentence fragment ending. Suggestions: use 'when' or 'when...occur' to indicate timing, pluralize countable nouns, use 'celebrations' for plural, and avoid leaving sentences incomplete.
× Actually, I usually send some fashion book gifts to my friend such as sunglasses and glasses because I think it's a fashion accessories to them.
✓ Actually, I usually give fashion items to my friends such as sunglasses because I think they are fashion accessories for them.
Errors: 'send' is unnatural for giving gifts in person (use 'give'), 'fashion book gifts' is unclear, 'my friend' should be plural for general habit, 'it's a fashion accessories' mixes singular and plural and wrong article, and wrong preposition 'to them' -> 'for them'. Suggestions: use 'give' or 'gift', use consistent singular/plural, replace unclear noun with 'fashion items' and use 'for' to indicate purpose.
× It can enhance our appearance.

✓ Yes, I have indeed given handmade gifts to others because China has a lot of traditional crafts to buy.
Errors: incorrect adverb placement ('literally' awkward), word choice ('traditional culture to buy' is incorrect), subject-verb agreement ('China have' -> 'China has').

× Some handmade gift can pass this culture and it can make me happy and joy.
✓ Some handmade gifts can convey this culture and they can make me happy.
Errors: singular/plural mismatch ('gift' -> 'gifts'), awkward verb choice ('pass this culture' -> 'convey this culture'), redundant phrase ('happy and joy' is incorrect; 'joy' is a noun). Suggestions: pluralize countable nouns, use 'convey' or 'preserve' for cultural transmission, and use appropriate emotion words (happy or joyful).

Suggestions: use plural for general statements, use 'shouldn't be too expensive' for advice, avoid repeating 'relationship(s)', and simplify the sentence for clarity.
