Della and Jim both make sacrifices for each other because they care about each other. Della sacrifices her hair, and Jim sacrifices his watch. Even though their sacrifices make them unable to use each other's presents, they realize how important their love is. This makes them wise, as the theme suggests.

This story supports the theme, "Those who sacrifice for each other are the wisest," because the characters found love through their sacrifice. Through giving away their most worldly precious item, they found an even more extraordinary love within their partner.

Hope that helps!
