Della buys a chain for Jim's watch from "summary" of The Gift of the Magi (Illustrated) by O. Henry
Della had been saving every penny she could for months, determined to give Jim a truly special Christmas gift. She knew that Jim treasured his pocket watch, a family heirloom passed down from his grandfather. But the watch had a worn leather strap that barely held it together, making it look less impressive than it truly was. One day, as she was walking home from work, Della passed by a jewelry shop and saw a beautiful gold chain displayed in the window. She knew instantly that this was the perfect gift for Jim's watch. The chain was simple yet elegant, a perfect match for the antique timepiece. Without hesitating, Della entered the shop and purchased the chain, using up all her savings in the process. She couldn't wait to see the look on Jim's face when he saw the gift she had bought for him. She knew that he would appreciate the thought and effort she had put into finding the perfect present for him. When Jim arrived home that evening, Della presented him with the gift, her heart pounding with excitement. Jim was speechless as he opened the box and saw the gold chain inside. He couldn't believe that Della had been so thoughtful and selfless in her gift-giving. As he fastened the chain to his watch, Jim realized the true meaning of love and sacrifice. Della's act of kindness touched him deeply, and he knew that he was truly blessed to have her as his wife. In that moment, they both understood the true spirit of Christmas – the spirit of giving without expecting anything in return.
