My grandmother gave me a used purse one year that she got from a garage sale (she was a garage sale fiend). It was this really ugly yellow canvas thing w/a plastic handle where they engraved some personalization...like a name, which WASN'T MINE! I think is said "SHELLY JO" or something like that. Not even close to my name!!!
Side note-If you've ever read the letter that Dear Abby used to reprint just about every Christmas from the disgruntled grandma who was tired of giving "generous" gifts to her grandchildren, only to receive no thank you note in the mail...yep, that was my grandmother. Generous = used junk or $2 cash. I'm going to hell for speaking ill of my deceased grandma...she had good qualities, but gift giving was not her talent.
