× I will give gift to others when it's their birthday and I also give them gifts when they achieve something or do something that deserve.

✓ I will give gifts to others when it's their birthday and I also give them gifts when they achieve something or do something that deserves.

The word 'gift' should be plural 'gifts' because it refers to multiple occasions. Also, 'deserve' needs an 's' to agree with the singular subject 'something'. This is a singular and plural issue and subject-verb agreement.

× I will consider the preference of that person, uh, because they probably don't like the gift, even if you, you think the gift is the item is very good, so.

✓ I will consider the preferences of that person, uh, because they probably won't like the gift, even if you think the gift is a very good item.

The phrase 'preference of that person' should be 'preferences of that person' to indicate multiple likes or dislikes. Also, 'the gift is the item is very good' is incorrect; it should be 'the gift is a very good item'. The preposition 'of' is correct but the noun should be plural. This is an incorrect use of prepositions and pluralization.

× I will give gift to others when it's their birthday and I also give them gifts when they achieve something or do something that deserve.

✓ I give gifts to others when it's their birthday and I also give them gifts when they achieve something or do something that deserves it.

Using 'will' here is unnecessary because the sentence describes habitual actions. The modal verb 'will' is often used for future intentions, but here present simple is more appropriate. Also, 'deserve' needs to be 'deserves it' to complete the meaning. This is a modal verb usage issue.

× I always need to take a lot of time.

✓ I always need to take a lot of time.

No correction needed here as the preposition usage is correct.

× because they probably don't like the gift, even if you, you think the gift is the item is very good, so.

✓ because they probably don't like the gift, even if you think the gift is a very good item.

The repeated 'you, you' is redundant and should be simplified. Also, 'the gift is the item is very good' is incorrect; it should be 'the gift is a very good item'. This is an incorrect use of pronouns and sentence structure issue.

× Uh, no I haven't. Uh, I always give them the items that I bought in shops.

✓ Uh, no I haven't. Uh, I always give them items that I bought in shops.

No major past tense error, but 'the items that I bought in shops' can be simplified to 'items that I bought in shops'. The past tense 'bought' is correctly used here.

× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?

No correction needed; the sentence is grammatically correct.

× Firstly I wouldn't show the price of the items when I give them gifts and I I think the price matters when you do it as as a social custom.

✓ Firstly, I wouldn't show the price of the items when I give them gifts, and I think the price matters when you do it as a social custom.

The sentence has repeated words 'I I' and 'as as' which should be corrected. Also, commas are needed to separate clauses for clarity. This is a sentence structure error.
