Review Time! Our Best Of The Best From 2017
Phew! Now all the excitement and chaos is over, we thought we would take a few minutes to sit back, grab a cuppa and reflect on the last year to see what our highlights were and what you guys we're loving on the site.
So! With that in mind, let's dive in and take a peep at our best of the best from 2017!
Pink Polly Pocket Heart Shaped Cross Body Bag
Truly the icing on the TruffleShuffle cake in 2017 was our amazing Polly Pocket Bags! When we first released these to the wild, the world went wild as we had countless features, articles and posts about them. We could barely keep up!
Reaching far corners of the world, it seems this was just what was missing from many 90s kids collections and the demand was so far beyond what we ever expected. It didn't take long for this little pink number to hit our top spot which is where it stayed for the rest of the year.
U Got The Look... In Our Awesome New Prince Tees!
What more is there to say about Prince!? Hugely admired and respected by music fans and critics alike, Prince was a musical powerhouse during the 80s scoring hit after hit with his catchy singles combined with a flamboyant stage presence and extravagant dress sense.
He was arguably the biggest pop star on the planet during that time (with tough competition from Michael Jackson and Madonna!). Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy, Raspberry Beret, U Got The Look, how can you choose a favourite single of his when there's so many classics to choose from!?
We've got a huge selection of Music T-Shirts at TruffleShuffle and it made me very excited when we got the opportunity to add some Prince T-Shirts into the mix.
Purple Rain was his sixth studio album and the first to feature his band, The Revolution. It was also the soundtrack to the film, Purple Rain, which is an absolute 80s classic. It features the singles When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy and of course the legendary title track, it certainly has it's fans as it's the third best-selling soundtrack of all time! Pay tribute to this classic album with our T-Shirts which feature the moody and atmospheric cover art.
One Way or Another, You're Going To Love Our Latest Blondie Tees!
Now, when a lot of people think of the 70s they might conjure up visions of huge flares, space hoppers, dodgy haircuts and hot summer festivals. This is pretty spot on really but for us there is one perhaps defining thing that jumps straight into our heads....Blondie!
Even just saying the name has some of the most iconic beats ringing in our ears which seem to then always be stuck there for a little while.............ahh sorry! Hitting the scene back in the mid 70s, Blondie (formed by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein) rose to become a household name with hit singles and albums all over the world with their American new wave and punky sounds.
Oooooozing cool, Blondie become one of the most successful groups having released three platinum albums; Parallel Lines, Eat to the Beat, and Autoamerican which are still regarded as their best work.
What better way to celebrate such a 70s/80s icon that with your very own collection of Blondie TShirts!? Sure to turn all the right heads in a crowd, take a peep at our latest collection including album inspired designs...
Need a Wingman? Our Exclusive New Top Gun Clothing Has Just Taken Flight!
As a lot of you movie fans in the land will know, many films are good, some are truly great, but even fewer reach the level of cult classic. Top Gun is one such film.
Released back in 1986, (which despite what we might actually think is a little more than fifteen years ago.... scary), Top Gun has risen to become a true crowning glory of 80s cinema with its action-packed fighter jet scenes, heart tugging story of loss and struggle, one of the best soundtracks ever and....yes....sure the odd topless volleyball and locker room scenes. Well it was the 80s.
Here at TruffleShuffle, Top Gun has been on of our true staples and we've stocked a huge range of exclusive Top Gun TShirts for ...ooooh... well, longer than we'd like to remember. Always looking to up our game, we've been busy once again creating some exclusive new Maverick designs which are sure to tickle your fashion taste-buds. Take a flyby and check them out below....

Classic Retro Toys You Didn't Get As a Kid But Can Buy Now!
We've all been there, when there is that one toy, game or gadget that seems like the perfect thing ever. It will solved all of life's problems, it will make you happier than anything and for as long as you could possibly imagine and well....everyone else had one!
But alas! Not every toy that kept you up at night just thinking about would ever be yours, but don't let that crush your dreams! That thing you wanted more than ever back then is possibly still up for grabs and now nobody can say that most evil word 'no'.
To refresh some of these childhood memories and perhaps dive into our back pockets and start waving money at whoever stands in the way of us and our childhood dreams, we thought we would put together some of our top toys and gadgets we wanted back in the day but never got. Take a peep!
