My favourite Gambit is by far Englund's Gambit because of its enticing pressure that it leaves on the opponent leaving them with not much choice but to fall into the trap (especially at lower ratings)

Englund's Gambit

This gambit is my favourite because once the opponent has fallen for the first pawn it leaves them optionless but to keep taking your pieces and make them feel like they are winning and playing against what they think must be the worst player I have ever played against and all of a sudden you throw your bishop to f2 which forces the king to take because he is in check and leaves him with no alternative but to leave his queen unguarded and hanging for your queen to snatch it right from him. Usually ending in a very quick resignation.
