Answer:
The gifts themselves have no purpose to one another, but the giving of the gifts symbolizes the love that Della and Jim have for each other. Both characters gave something that was personally important to provide happiness to the other. Della holds the comb close to her bosom such as her appreciation of them and Jim can see the humorous side of what has happened (page 265 and page 266). Rather than either character being upset, the author manages to bring both characters closer to each other. The characters gave to each other not objects, but love.
The title, “The Gift of the Magi” relates to the theme because it introduces the Magi in the story and how they compare to the characters in the story. The Magi were wise men who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger (page 266). Similarly, Della gave Jim a gift during Christmas and vise versa. Della and Jim relate to the Magi since they gave wise gifts to each other, knowing they would love their gifts. Also, Della and Jim sacrificed their greatest treasures for each other. This establishes Della and Jim as the true, wise Magi.
