Milky tea
The first cup of milky tea this autumn, lol!
There is no need for someone to buy it for me and I will never buy it for anyone. We can buy everything like this for ourselves. Yes, you can buy everything for yourself. This is a kind of mightiness and autonomy. Please don't be fooled by the milky tea store haha. But anyway, salute your youth, salute your romance and hope you guys all can get your own milky tea this fall.

To be grammatically correct, this needs a verb. However, this is acceptable in spoken English and most native speakers would say phrases like this. I do it all the time.
We can buy everanything like this for ourselves.

Everything sounds fine, anything makes more sense.

English does not have a second person plural and I think this is why you wrote "you guys all". I would say in spoken English: I hope you guys can all get your own milky tea. If you're not sure, leave out "all".
Fun note: if you hear people from the (US) South talk, they would say: I hope y'all can get your own milky tea. Or y'all's own milky tea. Or even better: I hope all y'all can get y'all's own milky tea. Wow.
Feedback
The tea store wants you to buy more than one tea. That's why they market love/friendship. Greedy tea store. Great work, this sounded natural when I read it.

Depending on the context, "you" can be second person singular or second person plural. So more accurately, English does have a second person plural, but there is no standardized and distinct second person plural pronoun. Also, "you all" is acceptable, especially to make it unambiguous if you are referring to one or multiple people. More formally, one might write "all of you" instead of "you all," but either is okay.
Example: A teacher wanting to get their class to listen could say: "You need to listen up!" But, it is more clear to say: "You all need to listen up!" This way makes it obvious they are referring to the whole class and not just one student. (This could also be "All of you need to listen up!")
I also think "y'all" has a place in spoken English outside of just the US Southern dialect. First, it avoids the ambiguity of only using "you," and "y'all" is much more fluid in speech than "you all." Second, the common phrase "you guys" is gendered, while "y'all" is not. Personally, I use "y'all" even though I don't have a southern accent and have never lived in the South. I would, however, avoid using it in writing.
