Band 6+: Describe a time when you had to give a gift that required significant effort to create or obtain. You should say: - Who the gift was for - What the gift was and why you chose it - How long it took to prepare And explain why the effort was worth it for that person.

I had a gift that required significant effort to create. The gift was for my girlfriend. I had spent more than one month in order to create this gift. And actually, the gift was bon kway, artificial bon kway, and I created it all by myself without any help. If I had known some techniques how to do this, maybe I would have spent less time, but I’m not really sure. I chose it because it was something completely unique. She had never had a gift like that before, and I thought it would be a great idea to do something like this. The preparations took really a lot of time. I think it took more than one hour, more than one month. Generally, the whole gift took more than two months. Preparations took one month, and creation took one more month. Now I can say that it didn’t worth it because my girlfriend didn’t really like it. Now I can say that it was too huge, but if I were her, I would have really appreciated a gift like that. It was something amazing and even breathtaking. There were more than 100 flowers in there, and I spent plenty of time to create that. Also, I have created a lot of different gifts by myself. However, this was the best, and even if I could have this in my apartment I would really like to have it here because it is a really good decoration for everything.
