Hey there! I believe your answer is Her wanting to buy a Christmas present for Jim. I know this because in the story, Jim sells his favorite watch to buy Della's favorite combs, and then she feels as though she owes him for that. So, by selling her hair, she can use the money to buy Jim a gift just as good as the one he got for her. I hope this helped!

Thanks, have a nice day!
