We've Come Up Trumps With Our Cool New Card Games!
Ever stuck for retro gifts for that retro kid in your life? Well, these made me smile â memories of Top Trumps in the playground in the 1980s came flooding backâ¦
If you've never heard of Top Trumps, where have you been? It's a card game. Each card contains a list of numerical data, and the aim of the game is to compare these values in order to try to trump and win your opponents card. Back in the day it was all about pitting the latest sports cars, ships, lorries, or tanks against each other. But nowadays the range is MASSIVE, and not restricted to mini-petrolheads. You can play this classic game with everything from DC Superheroes and Transformers, Disney Princesses or Spongebob right the way through to Moshi Monsters!!
So, even in this digital age kids (big or small) can put down their PSP's and ditch their DS's in favour of a good old fashioned (sorry I mean retro) card game now in stock!!
TruffleShuffle Buyers Look of the Month!
Well, Autumn is well and truly here. We can't fight it so we will have to just learn to live with it! Personally I actually love this time of year, a chance to snuggle up in cosy jumpers drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows, it's all about comfort!
With the 90's revisited this season, all over catwalks and the high street and as channeled by the girl of the moment Cara Delevingne, this has to be where the look for the ladies get's its inspiration this month!
This amazing Burger Jumper by Mr Gugu & Miss Go as seen on Cara herself is not only fun and quirky, it's also super toasty for those chilly Autumn evenings!
To complete this look, these amazing Mom Jeans from Topshop are just perfect! They would also look great teamed with one of our awesome ladies tees from cult favourite, Local Heroes.
Our Classic Childhood Toys and Games, Then and Now!
We've all got cherished memories of the favourite toys we had when we were growing up and here at TruffleShuffle we are dedicated to bringing these memories flooding back to you with a collection of great Games T-Shirts and Toys T-Shirts. I am going to take you lucky people on a trip down memory lane with this blog post and then bring you bang up to date as I take a look at some of our favourite toys and games we had when we were younger and what those toys look like now, some of them have evolved in very interesting ways...
My Little Pony first trotted onto the scene in 1983 and was instantly popular with little girls all over the world. First arrivals included Blossom, Cotton Candy, Minty and Snuzzle and there have been many more additions over the years including fan favourites such as Applejack, Princess Sparkle and Lickety Split. The cute and girly look of these toys are instantly recognisable and synonymous with the 80s!
My Little Pony has evolved over the years, but the most radical makeover came in the form of My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic which launched in 2010. These ponies have been given a new Japanese inspired style and have gained a whole new fan base of boys and girls of all ages. The 'Brony' fandom are a passionate lot and their community has made sure that the love for My Little Pony is still going strong after all these years.

Dive on into the weird and wonderful world of TruffleShuffle......
1) Why are we called TruffleShuffle?? Some people ask us this so we thought we could fill everyone in. Well! One of the founding T-Shirts that helped to inspire TruffleShuffle's creation was a classic Goonies TShirt (as seen further below), the money received from the first ever t-shirt sold was then used to buy the domain name www.TruffleShuffle.co.uk, inspired by top Goonie Chunk's legendary moves...
2) For the first year of its life, TruffleShuffle operated from a one-bed flat in Bristol! ...And we still use those very same shelves today stocking your tees before they get sent out...only slightly more of them now.
3) Competitions! Running weekly competitions on our Facebook page as well as holding monthly biggy ones here on the TruffleShuffle blog, we've ever-so roughly given away £13,000 in prize money! That's around 24p per fan we have to date! See...it really does pay to be a fan!
