    Hey, what Estrella said is pretty much correct, HOWEVER, what she has is in the form of "tú", which you would not use in your case because it is an informal use of the word "you"; I have provided translations in the form of "usted".

    How can I help you? - ¿Cómo le puedo ayudar? or ¿Cómo puedo ayudarle?

    My Spanish is not very good. - Mi español no es tan bueno. or No puedo hablar español bien. (I cannot speak Spanish well.)

    Buy three, get three free. - Si compra tres, recibirá tres gratis.

    It will make a great gift. - Será un gran regalo. or Será un regalo fantástico/magnífico/excelente/maravilloso.

    Editing note:

    Originally had "Si compra tres y recibirá tres gratis." which I changed to "Si compra tres, recibirá tres gratis." because what I first had didn't make sense :|

    For marketing purposes, considering it's Christmas season, I would phrase it:

    "Compre tres y llévese tres de regalo!"

    (The word "regalo" is commonly used in Spain for free stuff in stores and it has happy connotations, which play with the psychology of the buyer).

    Alternatively, it's perfectly standard and correct to say "Compre tres y llévese tres gratis" / "Compre tres y reciba tres gratis"... and other suggestions that have already been made.

    Edit for Dr. R.Lux: Hombre, "regalar" y "gratis" en una sola oración? Eso es espectacularmente redundante. El concepto de "regalo" implica gratuidad. Estoy seguro de que los periodistas que estudiaron ESO no dudarían en utilizar esta construcción pero como defensor apasionado del lenguaje, debo oponerme.
