The Gift of the Magi:  

The ironic thing in “The Gift of the Magi” is that the husband gives up his most cherished treasure a watch, so he can buy her a comb/hairpiece for her hair. She gives up her most cherished treasure, her hair, to buy a chain for his watch.  Its ironic because they both gave up something that they cherished most event though the things they sold it for were just things/possessions.  What is important is there love for each other and that should outweigh everything else.

The Necklace:

The irony in "The Necklace" is that the woman borrows a necklace from her friend and loses. So the woman got buys a replacement for a lot of money.  Only to find out the original necklace was a cheap fake. The ironic thing is if she would have just told her friend then she wouldn’t have had to spend money and replace it.
