× I think I'm quite good at choosing Gibbs because I always try to find something that matches the person's personality and style.
✓ I think I'm quite good at choosing gifts because I always try to find something that matches the person's personality and style.
The word 'Gibbs' is a misspelling of 'gifts'. This is a spelling error rather than a grammar issue, but it affects the meaning. The correct plural form is 'gifts'.
× Well, on some special occasions like birthday party or year end party, graduation day or some special event.
✓ Well, on some special occasions like birthday parties or year-end parties, graduation day, or some special events.
The nouns 'birthday party' and 'year end party' should be pluralized to 'birthday parties' and 'year-end parties' because 'some special occasions' implies multiple events. Also, 'year end' should be hyphenated as 'year-end' when used as an adjective.
× Well when choosing a gift I usually consider the specific price because sometimes I don't have enough money to buy expensive gifts like high end cosmetics.
✓ Well, when choosing a gift, I usually consider the specific price because sometimes I don't have enough money to buy expensive gifts like high-end cosmetics.
The phrase 'high end cosmetics' should be hyphenated as 'high-end cosmetics' because 'high-end' is a compound adjective describing 'cosmetics'. Also, commas are needed after introductory phrases for clarity.
× So I try to buy something meaningful and reasonable price.
✓ So I try to buy something meaningful and reasonably priced.
The phrase 'reasonable price' is incorrect here because 'price' is a noun and 'meaningful' is an adjective describing 'something'. To describe the price, an adverb and past participle 'reasonably priced' is appropriate.
× Absolutely yes. I once made for my best friend a handmade cakes for her birthday party because she really love handmade desserts.
✓ Absolutely yes. I once made for my best friend a handmade cake for her birthday party because she really loves handmade desserts.
The noun 'cakes' should be singular 'cake' because it refers to one item made for the birthday party. Also, the verb 'love' should be 'loves' to agree with the singular subject 'she' (third person singular).
× Absolutely yes. I once made for my best friend a handmade cakes for her birthday party because she really love handmade desserts.
✓ Absolutely yes. I once made for my best friend a handmade cake for her birthday party because she really loves handmade desserts.
The verb 'love' must be in the third person singular form 'loves' to agree with the subject 'she'.
