Does this sentence make sense? Use the second one, but be sure to capitalize the first word: W hat is important is not the present you give but the way you give it to someone. You don't need "to someone" at the end.

There would be many ways to say this, and it reminds me of a familiar saying... "It is not the gift, but the thought that counts."
