The combs that Jim bought were expensive, beautiful, strong, and luxurious combs made with tortoiseshells.
We can reach this answer because:
- Jim and Della are a couple with few economic resources, but who love each other very much.
- They very much wanted to buy each other Christmas presents, but they didn't have the money to do so.
- As a result, Della ends up selling her long hair to buy a gold watch for Jim, who unknowingly sells the watch to buy a set of luxurious tortoiseshells combs that Della has always wanted.
That question comes from the short story "The Gift of the Magi," which shows how love can make people make great sacrifices.
