    Della does not have much money to spend on Jim's gift.

    Della loves her husband, Jim, very much.

    Della wants to buy Jim a really nice gift.

    Explanation:

    Della's money to buy a present for Jim is far from enough, and the reader can understand that because of the way is phrased: "only $1.87".

    The love she feels for Jim can be recognized by the way "Her Jim" emphasizes the loving relationship that bounds them, in addition to the idea of something being owned by him as an honor.

    Her desire to buy Jim a nice gift is made clear by the reference to the number of hours she spent thinking about it, and the importance of finding something worthy enough.
