The Gift of the Magi is about two people, Della and Jim, who both sacrificed their precious possessions.
Della and Jim is suffering from a financial crisis. Della was only left with $1.87 cents to spare. In order for her to give Jim the best present he can get, she sold her hair for $20. After selling her hair she quickly searched Jim a present. She found this chain that was perfect for Jim's golden watch. When Jim came home, he had this gift for Della, a set of comb. Since Della cut her hair, Jim's present for her was useless and also Della's present for Jim since Jim sold his golden watch in order for him to get Della a gift.
Sometimes, people sacrifice a lot of things in order for the one they love to be happy. Sacrificing is a good thing since you can really show someone how much they really mean to you.
