When someone gives you some cherished ties (or just some that were languishing in the attic), it would be nice to make a small gift for the donor from one or more of the collection.  A cousin recently sent me her husband's discarded ties, including some beauties from the 70's that will make lovely bags.  I plan to make a small special occasion bag from one of these floral gems to send back to her as thanks.  Next time I hope to add a photo...
