Explain why you spent a lot of time preparing it
(What it was)Today, I would like to tell you the time I bought an Iphone for my sister when she turned 18, which took me almost 2 months to prepare the gift.

After one month I found that I have saved very few amount to purchase the IPhone! Then, I actually had to spend time working at a restaurant at the same time. When I finally save enough money, I went to a mobile phone when they were having special deals and purchased an Iphone 7+ as hardly could I have another chance to buy this item at such a good bargain

However, what was special was that as she grew up, she understood how much love I had put in the phone when buying it for her.
