Tote Bags for Professors Under $10
Big laughs, small price tag. The perfect tote bags for the professors in your life without breaking the bank.
Why Tote Bags for Professors
Academic life is pressure from every direction. Publish or perish, student evaluations, committee work, and the myth of the easy professor life. These stickers get it.
Your commute bag is a daily statement piece whether you like it or not. Instead of a boring black laptop bag or a free tote from a conference, why not carry something that makes people on the train do a double-take? These bags hold everything you need while broadcasting exactly how you feel about Monday mornings.

You're here because HR announced a Secret Santa with a $10 limit, or you need something for that coworker whose name you definitely know (it's... Steve? Maybe?).

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are $10 gifts actually good or just sad?
- Depends on the gift. A $10 gift card feels like you gave up. A $10 coaster that says 'This Meeting Could've Been an Email' feels like you understand their soul.
- What's the best sub-$10 gift for Secret Santa?
- Something funny and universal. Avoid anything that requires knowing their taste (candles, snacks) and lean into shared office suffering. Everyone relates to hating Mondays.
- How big are the tote bags?
- 15" x 16" with a 4" gusset - fits a laptop, lunch, and the emotional weight of your responsibilities. Handles have an 11" drop for easy shoulder carrying.
- Are these about students?
- Some reference the professor-student dynamic. Nothing mean.
