• how you chose it
• and explain why you spent a long time choosing it or explain how the receiver of the gift reacted when you gave it to him or her.

Sample Answer: 

• Gifts are a wonderful way of showing your love and gratitude to a dear person. A meaningful gift can make a lasting impression on a person and turn the act of receiving the gift into a cherished memory. I would like to talk about when I gave a set of handmade movie posters as a gift.
• This gift was for my best friend Karan, a cinephile like myself, and both of us have a lot in common when it comes to our taste in films. Films and movies were the foundation of the friendship Karan and I share, and discussing our favourite movie scenes and dialogues is how we both became such great friends.
• It was one of those gifts that took a substantial length of time to decide and finalize. Initially, I had planned to give my friend something generic like a t-shirt or perfume, but I realized that he might be receiving such gifts from others. Eventually, I decided to make him something special for his 21st birthday. That is when I came up with the idea of making posters of four of our favourite movies as a remembrance of the time we spent watching and discussing these movies together.
• One of the main reasons for investing so much time and effort into creating something special for Karan is because he has always been a dear friend of mine. Karan had also helped me out of several difficult situations when other people had turned their backs on me. Besides, I wanted him to have a different and unique gift. I will never forget Karan’s face when he unwrapped the posters. In all the years that I have known him, I have never seen him as excited as back then. He gave me a tight hug and thanked me for the posters, which were immediately put up on his bedroom wall.
