I suspect you mean O Henry's classic story 'The Gift of the Magi'.

In the exposition of the story Mrs. Della Young - wife to Mr. James Young - finds that it is Christmas Eve, and she has very little money with which to buy her young husband a Christmas present. The two young marrieds are living in a cheap apartment in New York, and Mr. Young's wages have recently been reduced. But Della very much wants to buy her husband something special this Christmas - they love each other so very much.

In the exposition of "The Gift of the Magi," we learn about the impoverished young couple, Della and Jim, who live together in a modest apartment. They struggle to make ends meet but are deeply in love. Della's prized possession is her beautiful long hair, while Jim treasures his pocket watch.
