The story tells of a couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but facing financial struggles. Della has beautiful long hair, which she cherishes, and Jim has a prized pocket watch. With Christmas approaching, they each want to give the other a special gift, but money is tight. Della decides to sell her hair to a wig maker in order to buy a chain for Jim's watch. Meanwhile, Jim sells his watch to buy combs for Della's hair, not realizing she has cut it off. On Christmas Eve, they exchange their gifts, only to discover the sacrifices they have made for each other. Despite their material losses, their love remains strong and unwavering. The story beautifully illustrates the true meaning of gift-giving and the depth of love that can withstand any hardship.
