It’s sweet, a little heartbreaking, and the twist still makes me smile every time I read it.

What I like most about The Gift of the Magi is how it shows real love—love that gives without expecting anything back. It makes you think about how much you’d be willing to give up to make someone else happy. The sacrifices in the story aren’t big or flashy, but they feel honest and real. It’s a reminder that in true love, the act of giving matters more than the gift itself.
