Whatever

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering whether the two sentences marked in red are correct in grammar, esp. related to "whatever."
Any comments will be welcomed.
Thanks a lot.

1.

Our company really needs to have a free board on its website. That would let us post about whatever we want to and also give us a chance to communicate with our co-workers in a relaxed atmosphere.

2.

M: What kind of gifts will be provided?

W: They are a two-bottle wine set, a hair and body shampoo set, a 10,000 won certificates for our department store and so on. You can choose one whatever you want.

For the first one, I'd choose between: post about whatever we want, and also etc. AND post what ever we want to, and also etc. When you include the "about," it means no subject is off limits.

  • For the first one, I'd choose between: post about whatever we want, and also etc.
  • AND post what ever we want to, and also etc.
  • When you include the "about," it means no subject is off limits.
  • Without it, the statement refers to the actual text you write.
  • The "to" is optional in both versions, but would more likely be omitted in the first version.

 Use a comma to distinguish between the two complete sentences. 

2.  (Use "There are..."  instead of "They are...") 
You can choose whatever one you want.
