Hola Tia,
Gracias por el dinero de mi cumpleaños. Compré pantalones y camisas en la tienda de descuentos. Cuestan $20 dólores. Pagué $2.50 dólores por los patalones verdes y $2.50 dólores por los jeans morados. Me gusta más los camisas grises. Cuestan $15 dólores. No me quedan bien. Son muy pequeños. Para debo regressar. ¡Que lástima!
Su Sobrino,
Nacho

I'll send this to our Spanish expert. Sra will reply when she gets the message.
Okay thanks :)
Good Grief! I answered this but it is on a preceding French one that this was attached to. Let me do it over here.
Because you began this in the Past Tense (pretérito) I'd change "Cuestan $20" to "Costaron."
There is a huge difference between "dólores = pains, griefs" and "dólares = dollars (money)."
Learn the verb "gustar" as the verb "to be pleasing to someone" rather than the verb "to like" and you will have less difficulty. Usually this verb is used in the 3rd person singular (if ONE thing IS pleasing to someone) or the 3rd person plural (If 2 or more things ARE pleasing to someone) so this is "Me gustan más..." and "camisas" is femiminine, so that is "las camisas..."
Again "cuestan" is better as "costaron $15 dólares."
Because "camisas " is feminine, the adjective "pequeños" must also be = "pequeñas."
"regressar" has only one s = "regresar."
The exclamatory (or interrogative) Que requires an accent mark = ¡Qué...!
Sobrino need not be capitalized = sobrino
Mostly spelling problems!

I'll flag this so I can come back later to see if you have any other questions.
