I the story the husband sells his watch to buy his wife some combs, and she sells her hair to buy him a chain for his watch. The irony in the gift exchange is critical to the story, because the theme is that they did'nt mind getting useless gifts, because they knew their partner gave up something important to them (his watch and her hair) to but a gift for each other.
