    I think the theme is sacrificing things you love for the people you love this is ironic because both Della and Jim sold there most prized possessions (dellas hair and Jim's watch) but both the presents they bought for each other they can't use because Della sold her hair and Jim bought her combs and Della bought Jim a watch band but he can't use it if he doesn't have a watch
