× I always struggle to choose gift for my friends because I'm not sure they are sued for other tests.
✓ I always struggle to choose gifts for my friends because I'm not sure what they like.
The sentence has pronoun and word choice errors. 'They are sued for other tests' is incorrect and unclear; use 'what they like' to refer to friends' preferences. Also plural 'gifts' matches 'friends'. Suggestion: replace unclear clause with a clear noun clause referring to preferences.
× But my sister is because she is creative and always came up with good ideas so I always ask for her for some advice.
✓ But my sister is because she is creative and always comes up with good ideas, so I always ask her for advice.
There is a subject-verb agreement and word order problem. 'Always came up' should be present simple 'always comes up' to match present habit. 'Ask for her for some advice' is incorrect; use 'ask her for advice' (ask someone for something). Also remove redundant 'some' before 'advice'. Use commas to separate clauses.
× I usually give gifts on some important occasions such as wedding or birthdays because I think it's a milestone for them, and I usually give some small gifts to show my appreciation or thanks.
✓ I usually give gifts on important occasions such as weddings or birthdays because I think they are milestones for the recipients, and I give small gifts to show my appreciation.
Preposition and article errors: 'on some important occasions' is acceptable but 'such as wedding or birthdays' should be plural 'weddings or birthdays'. 'It's a milestone for them' is vague; use 'they are milestones for the recipients' for clarity and agreement. 'Some small gifts' and 'appreciation or thanks' is redundant—use 'appreciation'.
× I usually consider my friend's personality and the budget when I choosing a gift to them so that they I can make sure the gift is suitable for their taste but not very pleasure.
✓ I usually consider my friends' personalities and my budget when choosing a gift for them so that I can make sure the gift suits their taste but is not too extravagant.
Multiple issues: possessive/plural error ('my friend's personality' should be 'my friends' personalities' when referring to multiple friends), verb form 'when I choosing' should be 'when choosing' or 'when I choose'. 'A gift to them' -> 'a gift for them'. 'Not very pleasure' is wrong; use 'not too extravagant' or 'not overly extravagant' to convey meaning.
× No, I'm not the kind of person who is particularly skilled at crafting, so I usually buy some stuff as a gift to my friends because they are more professional and it can also save more time for me because I have a busy schedule.
✓ No, I'm not the kind of person who is particularly skilled at crafting, so I usually buy gifts for my friends because professionals are better at it and it saves me time since I have a busy schedule.
Tense mostly fine but awkward phrasing and pronoun reference: 'they are more professional' incorrectly refers to 'my friends'; intended meaning is 'professionals are more skilled.' Replace 'some stuff as a gift to my friends' with 'gifts for my friends'. Simplify 'it can also save more time for me because I have a busy schedule' to 'it saves me time since I have a busy schedule.'
× Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
✓ Do expensive gifts better express your feelings?
No grammatical correction needed; sentence is grammatically acceptable as a question. Included here only if classification requires — otherwise no change.
× Yes, I think expensive gifts can better express our feelings because it shows how precious your friends in your mind.
✓ Yes, I think expensive gifts can better express your feelings because they show how precious your friends are in your mind.
Pronoun and agreement errors: 'it shows' should be 'they show' to agree with plural 'gifts'. 'How precious your friends in your mind' lacks verb 'are'. Also maintain consistent pronoun perspective: 'your feelings' then 'your friends' is fine.
× Of course, a cheap but thoughtful gift can also show it, such as you create a song for your friends.
✓ Of course, a cheap but thoughtful gift can also convey your feelings, such as creating a song for your friends.
Use of word forms: 'show it' is vague—'convey your feelings' is clearer. 'Such as you create a song' should use a gerund or infinitive phrase: 'such as creating a song' or 'such as writing a song'.
× It's also memorable.
✓ That can also be memorable.
Minor stylistic improvement: 'It's also memorable' is grammatical but ambiguous about antecedent; 'That can also be memorable' clearly refers to the thoughtful gift or song. No major grammar error but improved clarity.
