What's the resolution of the gift of the magi

Both the guy and woman (i don't remember their names ... sry) sacrificed/sold their most valuable possession for a gift for their spouse.

The resolution to "The Gift of the Magi" occurs when Jim tells his wife they should "put our Christmas gifts away and keep them a while. They're too nice to use now." He says this because he, like his wife, sold his most prized possession-he his watch, she her hair.
