Back To The Future Delorean Up For Auction!
Yes, you read it right! Back to the Future's III's iconic DeLorean is part of the upcoming Profiles in History auction and this awesome piece of movie history is expected to fetch a whopping $600,000 when it goes under the hammer in December!
One of only three of the seven DeLoreans used in the trilogy to survive, it was of course fitted with a flux capacitor and fuelled by plutonium, ready to travel through time when it reached a speed of 88mph.
For fans with slightly less cash to burn, the legendary hoverboard, which featured in Back to the Future Part II, is also on sale and estimated to fetch up to $20,000 (£12,800!) Marty's jacket and the shirt worn by his legendary mentor, Doc Brown are also up for grabs.
The auction is being held to raise money for Michael J Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Fox who played Marty Mc Fly in the awesome movie trilogy went public with his own battle with Parkinson's in 1998 after he was diagnosed seven years previously.
The auction, which will include other items of film memorabilia including a pair of Wizard of Oz ruby slippers, will take place December 15 to 17 so if you're prepared to dig pretty damn deep, keep your eye on the auction site here as more details will be revealed soon.
If however (like us,) these amazing pieces of movie memorabilia are sadly out of reach, never fear! Luckily, you can get your very own little piece of Back To The Future for just £5.99 right here on TruffleShuffle.com!
Do your bit for One25 + get a free ticket to see Ed Sheeran in an exclusive charity concert!
A few weeks ago, TruffleShuffle was contacted by the Bristol based charity, One25.
A small charity with big ambitions, their mission is to reach out to women trapped in street sex work, supporting them to break free and build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction. One25 gives them the intensive support needed to step away from the streets: whether for crisis support with the help of their night van, an afternoon at their drop-in centre, or permanently with the help of one-to-one caseworkers and their new mother and baby home, Naomi House.
In order to continue their amazing work and help more vulnerable women and their families, One25 are running a brilliant fundraising campaign called 'Give it up for One25'... - a challenge for people to give something up for 125 hours OR 125 days from 4th November 2011 or 3rd March 2012 in return for sponsorship or donations to this amazing charity.
To help promote the campaign, they asked us whether we would help them to design and make their campaign tee which we were honoured to do! Our designer James worked with the One25 team to create a range of designs based round the charities logo and the 'Give It Up' theme. The charities facebook fans then chose their favourite and plumped for this design (good choice guys!)
As well as designing the tee, the TruffleShuffle team will all be doing their best to give something up (hair straighteners, coffee, moaning and chocolate are some of the things we'll be sacrificing!) in order to help raise much needed funds for the charity! Our favourite though is One25 fundraiser Lu Willott who is giving up NOT wearing our campaign t-shirt! Yes, she'll be wearing it wherever she goes for four months, even on Christmas day and at a black-tie dinner! Good on you girl.
Anyone can take part in this fundraising event so if you guys fancy doing your bit and helping One25 reach out to even more women in need......

'This was my first ever purchase from Truffle Shuffle...and what a fabulous purchase it was!! I had heard of Truffle Shuffle but as all the celebs were wearing bits from here (as I had seen in magazines) I thought it would be really expesive, but was plesently surprised!This Debbie Harry t-shirt was a birthday present for my sister, she absolutlely loves it. She hadn't seen this t-shirt before so was pleased as not everyone had it. It fits her lovely and she is always wearing it. When it arrived and had a look and love the quality, it feels so nice and expensive was happy to pay £25 for it also was pleased the delivery wasn't expensive. The packet love hearts were a bonus too we were both winners! Now just got to try and convince her she isn't actually Debbie Harry!! Thanks Truffle Shuffle have already decided to order most my Xmas presents from here. Keep up the good work!!'
