Why we love this deal

Going back to work in January after the long holiday always feels like a struggle, especially if you have to trudge there wrapped in a giant coat to fend off the chill. If you wish there was a way to shake off the sluggish vibe, perhaps you could benefit from something bright and happy to go with you to work — like this adorable puffy tote that's currently on sale at Amazon.

The Bagstellar Puffy Tote is normally $50, but it's 40% off right now, bringing the price down to just $30. This versatile bag is big enough for a laptop, so it's ideal for work, but it could also be adapted for use at the gym, for a day of shopping or sightseeing, a weekend trip, or just about any activity. And it comes in some lovely colors that will remind you that warmer days are ahead.

Why do shoppers love it?

This roomy bag measures 16 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 13 inches high, and comes packed with some excellent features. One is the laptop sleeve, which can hold a laptop up to 15.6 inches. You've also got multiple inner pockets to keep items like pens, journals, and your phone in. But the real game changer is the cup holder on the inside, which can hold large reusable cups like the Stanley.

The bag also features several outer pockets that zip, as well as open pockets on each side that are large enough to hold a coffee thermos or a water jug. If you're a mom, you'll be glad to know this sturdy polyester bag is very easy to clean. It's water-resistant, but if something spills on it, you can simply wash it in the machine and let it air dry.

You also get a matching makeup bag with the tote, which is a nice bonus for anything smaller you may want to store in the tote without it getting buried at the bottom.
