× Yes, I really good at giving gifts because I understand my friend's hobbies and now what they really need.
✓ Yes, I am really good at giving gifts because I understand my friends' hobbies and know what they really need.
Missing auxiliary verb 'am' for adjective complement (be + adjective). 'really' is fine. 'friend's' should be plural possessive 'friends'' because referring to more than one friend. 'now what they really need' is ungrammatical; use 'and know what they really need' to provide a correct verb and structure.
× So I usually give some practical gifts when their birthday or Christmas.
✓ So I usually give practical gifts for their birthdays or at Christmas.
Use 'for' with 'birthday' (give a gift for someone's birthday) and plural 'birthdays' if speaking generally. Use 'at Christmas' or 'for Christmas' for the holiday. 'Some' is unnecessary before 'practical gifts' in this context.
× I think every day can be giving gifts, not must a special festival.
✓ I think you can give gifts any day, not only on special festivals.
Original sentence has incorrect word order and modal use. Use 'you can give gifts any day' for general ability. 'not only on special festivals' correctly contrasts everyday giving with special occasions; 'must' is incorrect here.
× In normal days I will send a cute small gift for my friends.
✓ On normal days I will send a small cute gift to my friends.
Use preposition 'on' with 'days' when speaking of general times: 'on normal days.' Word order for adjectives in English typically places size before opinion: 'small' before 'cute' is optional but 'small cute gift' is natural; either 'a cute small gift' is less preferred. Use 'to' rather than 'for' when indicating the recipient.
× I have more small tips.
✓ I have a few small tips.
'More' is not appropriate here; use 'a few' to indicate several small tips. 'Small tips' is fine, but 'a few small tips' is idiomatic.
× For example I think gifts need to practical.
✓ For example, I think gifts need to be practical.
Missing infinitive 'to be' after 'need' when describing a required quality: 'need to be practical.' Comma after 'for example' improves clarity.
× For example if you send some expensive gifts but not practical friends maybe don't use once.
✓ For example, if you give expensive gifts that are not practical, friends may never use them.
Original sentence has word order and verb errors. 'Give' is more natural than 'send' for presents. Use a relative clause 'that are not practical' to describe gifts. 'Friends may never use them' is correct tense and word choice; 'once' is incorrect here.
× So I pay attention to practical function.
✓ So I pay attention to practical function(s) or to their practical use.
'Practical function' is awkward and missing article; better 'practical function' with article 'the' or plural 'functions', or 'their practical use.' Adjust phrase to match intended meaning.
× For example, last week I created a new clothes by my hand.
✓ For example, last week I made a new piece of clothing by hand.
'Created' is acceptable but 'made' is more natural for handmade clothes. 'Clothes' is plural and cannot be used with 'a new'; use 'a new piece of clothing' or 'a new garment.' 'By my hand' is incorrect; idiomatic expression is 'by hand.'
× They really like this style, it fit her and very unique, so I usually wear it.
✓ She really liked the style; it fit her and was very unique, so she usually wore it.
Pronoun mix-up: if referring to one friend use 'she' not 'they.' Tense consistency: sentence described a past event ('last week'), so use past tenses: 'liked,' 'fit,' 'was,' 'wore.' 'Very unique' is redundant—'unique' typically does not take modifiers like 'very,' but 'quite unique' can be used; here 'was unique' is fine.
× No, I don't think expensive gifts can better express my feelings because as a student I can't afford any expensive gifts but I can hand make some gifts for express my feelings for friends.
✓ No, I don't think expensive gifts better express my feelings because, as a student, I can't afford expensive gifts, but I can hand-make some gifts to express my feelings to my friends.
Remove unnecessary 'can' before 'better express' to match meaning. Add commas around 'as a student.' 'Any' before 'expensive gifts' is unnecessary in this context. 'Hand make' is better hyphenated as 'hand-make.' Use infinitive 'to express' and preposition 'to' before 'my friends.'
