The scenario you described represents **situational irony**. This is because both Fella and Jim make sacrifices for one another, but the outcomes are ultimately tragic—they each sell something of great personal value to buy a gift for the other, and as a result, their gifts are rendered useless. The intentions are sincere, but the irony lies in the unexpected and unfortunate outcome of their actions.
