Totes for the Beach: 20 cute bags for summer under $25

Hi there!

I’ve already been blogging since April and since then I’ve written about fantastic stores and some of the coolest items they have. Then, I’ve curated some more gift guides.

One of my most popular gift guides is : Gift Guide for the Traveler. Every find is under $20!

So, I’ve decided that I wanted to continue and create more series!

It’s summer and everybody is on the go! Lots of activities like picnics, graduation parties, weddings, office parties, celebrations to attend, vacations to jet set to, and more!

A summer must – at least once – is going to the beach!

This blog post is starting the Summer Series!

For the most part, I think it would be better for this series to have it focus on one product and a summer/beach theme for each post.

Designs that showcase:

  • beaches
  • ocean
  • sea life
  • boating
  • famous beaches
  • beach quotes
  • artistic

Another part of this guide is to make sure that the focus is budget friendly. So a reasonable price on totes would be under $25.

As of this writing, the list retail price for everyone was under that amount.

Keep in mind, if you want the design on a different size of tote, that is an option -especially if you want to fit more beach gear in – but that can increase the price.

But- all of these designs are cute and….with a Zazzle promotion code, you could end up saving BIG!

 

Don’t Keep That Beach Waiting Funny Typography Pun Tote

This design starts off the totes gift guide list and it has many cool elements about it.

The background is of warm sand and light blue ocean waters!

The design displayed prominently is the circle design with many cool features.

The design has two quotes:

Get outside!

Don’t keep that beach waiting!

The designs has many elements of the beach life. There are silhouettes of seagulls, a dolphin jumping out of waves, a sailboat enjoying the day, palm trees and a large splash of waves with another dolphins tail!

Also, did you notice the sun silhouette also? It is decorative with it’s sunshine rays also being wavy.

There is a lot of movement going on in the design and along with the quotes, it’s motivating to go plan your next day at the beach!

Fun fact: A group of dolphins is called a pod of dolphins.

 

Life is a Beach – Tropical Tote

A tote with a tropical twist!

The quote on this tote is:

Life is a Beach

The beach is a shiny element that is fun!

The illustration is light and airy. It looks like a breezy day at the beach, doesn’t it?

The artwork is beautiful. The white plumeria with sunny bright yellows  is clearly visible and behind the palm is a seashell. A favorite find while walking along the shoreline.

Did you notice something else?

You can add a monogram or your initials!

It’s a fun way to make it your own.

Fun Fact: did you know that plumeria is also known as “frangipane” flower or in Hawaii it’s called “melia”?

 

Nautical Navy Blue Anchor Coral Peach Stripe Beach

This tote is preppy cute! It has a minimalist design approach to it just sticking with a stripe background and an anchor symbol.

What’s different about this is the color combination that works!

The background is a warm apricot pink color.

The anchor is in a rich navy blue tone.

This would look good on the beach next to your lounge chair!

Fun Fact: An anchor is a good luck symbol of stability and strength.

 

Life is Better in Flip Flops

This tote is a cute cartoon design!

When you think of the quote, you end up agreeing:

Yes, life is better in flip flops!

How cute is this design?

This adorable tote has flip flops in a minimal design of a silhouette fashion and in a bright sky blue look. Doesn’t the flip flops arrangement look as if you could’ve kicked them off and hopped into the ocean waters!

There are dots around the quote and flip flops and it looks like sand.

There is a starfish too!

The quote is in hand-written script.

All the design elements come together and it would look fabulous on the beach!

Fun Fact: International Flip Flop Day is every third Friday in June!

On Beach Time Typography Bag

This design is on trend with typography!

It’s a simple font, however, what makes it different is what’s inside the type.

It’s clear blue ocean water on a bright sunny day! You’ll need your sunglasses. Where’s your sunnies? 

And the quote:

On beach time

It says and conveys so much with a great approach to minimalism.

Fun fact: beach time is also known as #beachtime on social media and share your beach destinations and fun moments!

Light Purple Hawaii Aloha Mahalo Typography

This next design is one of the newest items in Lucky Design World’s popular collection!

It’s a typography design that is in an elegant minimalism presentation.

The color chosen for this list is in a light purple to be a little different from the usual blues and yellows. (But those options are available -even in Hawaiian sunset hues and another in pastel rainbow tones, when you click through on the link, you can see them at my store)

The cool thing about this design is that it features two typography elements.

Aloha – is in script

Mahalo – is in type

Together they make a unique and strikingly memorable combination.

Make a loving and beachy statement with this tote!

Fun Fact: Did you know that in Hawaiian “aloha” means love and “mahalo” means thank you?
