Our Top Retro Dads
Hi peeps!
Just when you thought we had covered almost everything retro inspired idea on our little corner of cyberspace, POW! here we are with yet another look back at the great and good from the 80s, a retro reminisce if you wish.
With Father's Day fast approaching (16th June), we thought we would take some time to look back and pick out some of our all-time favourite Dads either from the small or big screen. Some quirky, some strict, som...well...different in their own way let's say but we love them all the same.
George McFly
Somewhat of a timid and shy character at first, George is Marty McFly's Dad from Back to the Future 1-3. For those who have yet to see these classic...what are you thinking?? but anyway....George is portrayed as weak and the main target of Biff Tannen's bullying. He later, thanks to some help from his son Marty, musters up some courage and get what he wants and ends up with the girl. A lovable guy, George is a great part of the film series.
Wayne Szalinski
If you haven't recognised him already, it's the Dad from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The classic tale where this wacky scientist accidently shrinks his two kids and two others the the size of insects...as you do. As you can imagine, being that small is a scary place and the tale follows the kids journey of survival while they encounter ants, sprinklers, cerial and more. Okay okay, so maybe it's not the best parenting you will ever see, but this zany guys is so lovable and you have got to admire his passion and creativity huh.

Brand new retro iPhone cases!
These modern iPhones are all well and good, but if you're looking to inject some charm and retro appeal to your mobile we've got some cool iPhone cases that will be right up your street. These retro iPhone cases remind us of what we used to entertain ourselves with before the invention of the smart phone, and what fun times they were!
Let me take you back to the early âNoughties'. This Nokia inspired case will protect your phone and tar you with the âretro cool' brush at the same time!
At the time you owned a handset like this, you probably thought you were cutting edge. And while compared to the iPhone now, this model seems like something from the dark ages â it actually wasn't so long ago that it WAS cutting edge.
Remember sitting in the back of the car on long trips fighting with your brother or sister over your favourite handheld computer game? Well now you can have your very own. And, what's more, this one will house your very own 21st century gadget in hard-shell style!
Made to look like a genuine 90s Gameboy, the gaming cover will give your iPhone 5 some effortless retro flair..
The Onesie and Only!
We do love a good retro onesie here at Truffle Towers, so it's no surprise that we're loving these Superhero onesies! We're pretty well known for our retro fancy dress so we think it's about time we introduced these quirky additions to the site!
Dream of heroic rescues and Lois Lane snogs in this awesome Superman onesie! Super warm and snuggly, these pj's also come with a detachable cape.
If Batman is more your bag, then fear not!
This Caped Batman Onesie will make you look so sexy that all the villains in your life are going to try to get you to take them to the Bat Cave!
