What's the title of this Christmas Story?

Question

I'm not sure who wrote it, it might have been Mark Twain or Charles Dickens. This is how it goes:
A man and a woman want to buy eachother a Christmas gift but they have no money. The woman sells her hair to buy a chain for the man's watch and the man sells his watch to buy a comb for the woman's hair.

Answer 1

"The Gift of the Magi" by O.Henry. You can read the entire story online:

Answer 2

It was NOT by Poe. It was by "O. Henry". I had it as a quiz question because he gives the man an amount - before he sells the watch - that he couldn't have in US money. (It was an 'odd' figure ending in 3c and he had 4 'pennies' in his coins - something you can't do to make a figure ending in 3c.)

[The catch, for non-US people was just that point, since many countries have 2c pieces, and they were not mentioned, so we all overlooked that point. but it is why I remember who wrote the poem.

It may have been called "The Gift".

Try "O. Henry" on a website.

Answer 3

The Gift of the Magi

Answer 4

I think it was Egar allen Poe's "The Gift"
