Sunny’s Retro Christmas Gift Guide
In the words of Noddy Holder: âITâS CHRISTMASSSSSS!â
Yes, tis the season to be jollyâ¦so I keep telling myself. Now Iâm not saying Iâm Ebenezer Scrooge mark II but these past few years Iâve been more âbah humbugâ than âho ho hoâ. Despite my lack of enthusiasm for the holidays recently, I still uphold the jolly tradition of giving Christmas presents (as well as watching Christmas TV/films) - see Iâm no Scrooge!
Since us Wardrobe girls became friends back at Uni, weâve been giving presents every year and this year is no different. Buying lots of Christmas presents can be an extremely stressful task especially when youâre tackling the high street crowds (raging much?). Oh lets not forget the impact it can have on your bank balance- bad times.
Here at Wardrobe we like to set a budget for our gifts which makes it a lot easier. How awkward would it be if you bought someone a gift for a fiver and they spent say fifty quid on yours! We also love to do âSecret Santaâ which means everyone in the group gets at least one decent present each and your bank balance doesnât suffer much.
Every year, finding presents gets tougher and tougher but this year the guys over at TruffleShuffle may just have saved me from having a mini-breakdown. Their gift section has got bigger and definitely better. Also their new online gift finder is a godsend. Just to prove how immense the collection is Iâve put together a little retro gift guide to hopefully give you some ideas.
Christmas Gifts A Go Go at TruffleShuffle.com
The start of the familiar Christmas shopping frenzy has definitely started and we're being kept super busy at Truffle Towers getting all your gifts and goodies out to you in double quick time.
For those of us who haven't quite got round to making a start yet - we figured we'd share some of the items from our brilliant gift finder which have been flying out faster than Santa on his sleigh throughout November.
Hopefully they'll inspire you to bite the bullet and get your Christmas shopping all wrapped up at www.TruffleShuffle.com
Our luscious Love Hearts Tea Lights have been selling out fast and it's no surprise as they make a great gift idea for the important lady in your life. At a very wallet friendly £4.99, they're a perfect stocking filler or Secret Santa gift idea too.
These super socks feature the mark of the Caped Crusader, Batman! A great gift idea for the deserving Superhero in your life, they'll love sneaking them under inconsipicuous suits or proudly flashing them underneath turn ups for a touch of Ker-Pow WOW!
It's no suprise, given that we're named after Chunk's famous dance from this very movie, that we have a pretty damn awesome range of gifts, clothing and accessories inspired by The Goonies. You guys seem to love them just as much as as they're all flying out faster than ever, particularly our new tee inspired by the original movie poster and available for guys and gals.
Check out our whole range of gifts inspired by The Goonies here!
Another movie classic which is proving incredibly popular on the T-Shirt front this year is the amazing Labyrinth.
Check our our latest addition to the range in the form of this terifically toasty hoodie inspired by the famous Worm.
I'm just a worm. Say, come inside, and meet the missus......
And finally - lots of you are giving the gift of allegiance to the good boys of the bunch with these cracking Optimus Prime Transformers boxers!
Starring the leader of the Autobots in full battle mode, they'll add a touch of comic cool to any underwear drawer!
Happy Christmas shopping folks xoxo
Super Stocking Fillers!
So most of your Christmas shopping is done and ready to be wrapped and all you have left to buy are all those little stocking fillers. Panic not, with our new Gift Finder we have all you need for those little extra gifts.
If you have a set aside a bigger budget for something a little more expensive then perhaps something from our gifts for under £10 range might solve all your Christmas shopping needs and delight your friends and family with some of our fabulous stocking treats! My niece has requested some make up just like mummy, so the Little Miss Bad Lips and Face Make Up Set is just the ticket. For my other half who thinks he is a bit of a Superman these Men's Superman Figure 2pk Socks from the loungewear range is a good start to the transformation!
Don’t be a Mug this Christmas
It's nearly the season of cheer and good will to all men so this Christmas why don't you help give someone you love the gift of tea.
Itâs a fact that people like tea but end up having no choice but to drink it from bland old boring mugs.
What these people truly crave is to stand out from the crowd and be able to drink their favourite beverage in true retro style.
Here are some of my recommendations to help those people stuck in a bland mug world.
1. Tetris, one of the most recognisable games in gaming history, has millions of fans that will love this cool officially licensed Tetris Heat Change Mug. This stylish black mug features a snapshot of a Tetris game at the beginning of play when cold. Fill the mug with your choice of hot beverage and the face of the mug immediately changes to show the game in a much more advanced state of play. AWESOME!!!
2. Can you believe it, it's the 30th anniversary of the Rubik's Cube this year and what better way to celebrate than with this wickedly retro mug inspired of course by the fabulous toy! An awesomely old school find, this little treat is sure to bring back all those memories of frustration, joy and wonderment with every sip!
Retro Cool Secret Santa Gifts!!!
It's that time of year again and as the shops begin snowing up their windows and blasting out Slade's Crimbo classic IT'S CHRISTMAS, we all scurry around in a frenzy trying to find unique, funny and affordable Secret Santa gifts. Well, if like us you are feeling under pressure and needing inspiration for this annual stress, we can point you in the direction of some amazing Secret Santa gifts, guaranteed to raise a few office giggles and envious glances!
