What's the best gift that you've received and why?The Best Gift
Open to any feedback
The best gift that I’ve received was definitely travel. I don’t like material things or items because I think the best gift that you can give to someone is surely the opportunity to travel. I have been travelling so much in my life and every country have gave me something… I have learned about different cultures, I have tried different local dishes and I have seen beautiful monuments and places.
So, if could choose to give or receive some gifts, I absolutely will choose travel because I think nothing can teach more than a travel experience. Do You agree with me? I’m waiting for your answer.

“Items” seems redundant—it means virtually the same thing as “things” in this context.

“I absolutely will choose” it’s wrong?

Travel is nice, but I would choose a book, because books let us travel in our minds—and cost a lot less than travel. :-)

"Been travelling" is present perfect continuous. If you are not currently travelling, I'd favour past tense instead.
So, if I could choose to give or receive some gifts, I absolutely will choose travel because I think nothing can teach more than a travel experience.

No need for the capitalisation here.

Thank you very much !❤️
The best gift that I’ve received was definitely travel/has definitely been travel.
What you wrote isn't wrong but it's conventional to use "has been" here. So long as you're alive you can continue receiving gifts so it's not an event that we talk about in the past tense.

Not necessarily wrong. This sounds much better.
Thank you !
