Answer:
One of the most important themes in the Gift of the Magi is that of wealth. What makes a person wealthy, or rich? What O. Henry wants to show is that the couple in the story are very rich and lucky, because even though they have no money, they have a very pure love, which is a lot more special.
He supports this theme through the use of irony. In the story, the irony lies in the fact that the couple want to give special presents to each other so badly, that they are willing to sacrifice their most prized possessions. However, these possessions are also the reason for their gifts. However, O. Henry implies that whether the gifts are fancy or not, and whether they lost their possessions or not, their true wealth lies in the fact that they are both willing to make sacrifices for each other.

Dear Cousin,
You wouldn't believe what my class and I did yesterday, you would have loved it! My school hosted this really cool event! It's called an "International Food Fair", and basically what my class had to do was choose a country and represent it! We chose France, inspired by how they helped the United States during the revolution. I know you love France, I should have gotten pictures. We had an entire area set up, even with food you'd typically find in France! Basically we all went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of supplies, some of the more artistic students helped put things together to make it look neater, you know it would look like a clown woke up on the wrong side of the bed if I was in charge of that! They painted the France flag on a poster board and hung it up above our station, we had jars with mini flags in them with dyed flowers, France colors! It was great, we had a blast! We even learned some French via Oogle Translate, and had fun trying out our best "French Accents". My favorite part of all were the baguettes. Man they were good! You really missed out. I can't wait until we do this again next year! However, I would say we could have done more scripting then we did. I noticed when questions were asked, we'd hesitate. If only we wrote up a bunch of stuff so everyone knew what to say to a certain scenario, it would have been more smooth. The pros outweigh the cons, however, and it was a very fun time!
Until next time, your favorite (and only) Cousin.
