"The Gift of the Magi" is a touching short story by O. Henry that explores the themes of love, sacrifice, and the true spirit of giving. The story revolves around a young couple, Jim and Della, who are very much in love but are struggling financially.

At the beginning of the story, we learn that Della has saved up only a small amount of money, $1.87, to buy a Christmas gift for Jim. She desperately wants to buy him a special present, but their limited means make it difficult. Della has beautiful long hair, which she treasures deeply. In a moment of selfless love, she decides to sell her hair to a wig maker for $20. With this money, she buys a platinum chain for Jim's prized possession, his watch.

Meanwhile, Jim is also planning a surprise for Della. He knows how much she values her hair, and he wants to buy her a set of combs that she has admired for a long time. To afford the combs, Jim sells his watch, which is a family heirloom and holds great sentimental value for him.

On Christmas Eve, they exchange gifts. Della is overjoyed to give Jim the platinum chain, but her happiness turns to shock when she realizes that Jim has sold his watch to buy her the combs. Similarly, Jim is surprised and touched by Della's gift but is heartbroken to see that she has sacrificed her hair for his chain.

The story concludes with a poignant message about the nature of love and sacrifice. Despite their sacrifices, both Jim and Della realize that the true gift is their love for each other. They may have given up their most valued possessions, but their devotion is what truly matters.

In essence, "The Gift of the Magi" teaches us that the greatest gifts come from the heart, and that love often involves selflessness and sacrifice.
