Shoppers outraged after TikTokers take advantage of ‘she deserved the purse’ trend

As a gamer with a young child and a wife who often does the grocery shopping, I find myself deeply disturbed by the recent “She Deserved the Purse” trend that has taken over TikTok. As someone who cherishes every penny we have to support our family, I can only imagine the frustration and disappointment mothers must feel when they encounter tampered baby products in search of hidden cash or gift cards.


A trend that started off as a wholesome appreciation of parents has taken a turn as TikTokers take advantage and search for money hidden in stores for the “She deserved the purse” trend.

Back in early September, TikTok user Daneesha Gonzalez found herself browsing the aisles of a supermarket. To her surprise, she spotted an upscale handbag located within the infant section. Recognizing the predicament, Daneasha assumed that the mother must have prioritized her child’s necessities over her own desires.

She then posted alongside a caption that simply read: “She deserved the purse.“

In an instant, she swiftly posted the heart-wrenching incident on TikTok, accompanied by a brief caption that read “she deserved that handbag,” which had garnered more than 25 million views at the moment of composition.

This rapid occurrence sparked the trend where people began showing kindness, often by placing money or gift cards within items intended for babies on store shelves, as a surprise gesture to appreciate and reward mothers shopping for their infants.

Nevertheless, this considerate behavior didn’t persist for an extended period. Instead, there have been reports of individuals rummaging through the baby sections of stores nationwide in America, seeking one particular gift.

Valeria Diaz was among numerous individuals who utilized TikTok to demonstrate that several baby items at her nearby Target were already opened, likely due to people looking for funds.

She felt justified in winning the handbag. However, no one should have to deal with damaged or manipulated items just because it’s fashionable… This is the message behind her widely-viewed video.

As a fellow gamer (or stay-at-home parent), I jumped on TikTok just like you might dive into a new game level, to share an unexpected glitch I encountered. My local store, unfortunately, wasn’t a virtual one this time; it was my real-life supply base. The twist? Some intruders had raided the place and opened all the formula bottle lids in search of hidden loot – cash and gift cards. Quite a game-breaking bug, wouldn’t you agree?

In her video’s caption, she expressed: “If there had been money hidden there, it likely would have helped a hardworking parent. It pains me as a struggling parent to witness others taking what should rightfully belong to those who truly need it.

As a dedicated admirer, I’ve found myself echoing the experiences of others. “I visited Target recently and noticed that every can had its lid opened,” one individual shared, while another shopper confided: “At my local Target, all the diaper boxes were torn open.

As a passionate gamer speaking, I’ve noticed that not just the TikTok trends, but some of them have spiraled out of control. In the past, health experts have issued warnings about a specific trend, one that if followed, could potentially lead to temporary or even permanent vision loss for those involved.
