Tote Bags as Gifts: Personalized Hostess, Teacher and Secret Santa Gift Ideas
Share
When you need a gift that works for almost anyone, a personalized tote bag is hard to beat. It is useful, it fits every kind of gift exchange, and with patches and initials it feels like you planned it for weeks. Here is how to use custom tote bags for every kind of holiday gifting.
Hostess gifts
Heading to a holiday party? Bring a custom canvas tote with the host's initials and fill it with a bottle of wine, a candle or homemade cookies. The bag is the gift that lasts.
Teacher gifts
Teachers carry papers, laptops, lunch and a dozen other things. A sturdy boat tote with their initials and a coffee or star patch is a thank you they will use every school day.
Secret Santa and gift exchanges
A tote bag is a safe pick when you do not know someone well. Keep it simple with one initial and a few fun patches like a smiley, cherries or a four leaf clover.
Gifts for coworkers
Give your team matching totes in the same trim color with each person's initials. It is a practical gift that also looks great on a commute.
Gifts for the beach and travel lover
Seashell, whale, palm tree and Nantucket patches turn a tote into a souvenir of their favorite trip. See the best beach tote bag for packing ideas.
