Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Aileen,
It's wonderful of you to be so thoughtful to buy a gift for your grandmother on her birthday. Of course all your suggestions were pretty amazing for a sweet old lady like her, but I'll like to give you some suggestions as well. You could buy her a nice dress or a warm cardigan as winter's coming pretty soon. Or you could buy her a pair of cozy slippers. Maybe you could buy a medication reminder clock - which I believe is highly essential for the elderly. Thank you so much for asking about my suggestions and I'm always here to help! Stay safe and I hope you are doing good.
Gary

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
When we read the story "Gift of the Magi." written by American author O. Henry in 1905, the essence of the story is Della and Jim, wife and husband that are thinking about what to give as a Christmas present to each other, They are a poor couple and do not have enough money to buy Christmas gifts. So they both have to make sacrifices. She sold her long hair and Jim, the husband, sold his watch to buy combs for Della's' hair.
So yes, the moral of the story is that "Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued." When someone loves another "special" one, you make sacrifices in order to make him or her happy. No matter the circumstances. And that is what these couples do. Their intentions were good. They both got rid of something valuable in order to make the other happy with a present. And that counts!
