This minions have the tardis tote is a cute and sci-fi way to carry around your belongings.

This bag features the minions carrying Dr. Who’s phone box. In the hands of the minions this is bad as the tardis is used for time traveling, and who knows where the little yellow men would end up. The minions are drawn to look like they’re up to no good and are ready to destroy the time machine.

In addition to being a creative mashup between two unlikely pairs, the tote itself is extremely practical. Its durable nature makes it perfect for a bag to bring camping or for carrying groceries.

If your kid is a fan of Despicable Me and you grew up loving Dr. Who, this tote can be a family bag for everyone to enjoy.
