It’s cool to be a mum of the 80′s!
With Mothers Day fast approaching, it's time to consider what gift you're going to treat her to - and as always - TruffleShuffle have it covered! The only question you have to ask yourself is 'What kind of Mum is she?' - then you can leave the rest to us!
If, like mine - your mum was responsible for some disastrous home made Super Hero costumes as you were growing up, then why not show her how 'times have changed' by treating her to a 'Girl Power-esque' t-shirt or accessory. With the likes of Wonder Woman, She-ra and Supergirl - you're bound to find something that will save the day!
Fancy herself as a bit of a Goddess in the kitchen? If so - then what better way to spice up her kitchen than with some quirky retro homeware gifts. This week we had some amazing goodies hit the TruffleShuffle shelves - including the Monopoly Board Tea Towel which would look great tucked into any of our aprons while she's cooking your favourite home made meals! We also recently added some amazing Espresso sets from Twister and Cluedo - you can check out the full range by clicking here.
With our wide range of 80's music t-shirts - she can show off her appreciation for all her favourite bands, while rocking one of our funky t-shirts. In a variety of shapes and colours, we have something for everyone. For our full range of music t-shirts and gifts click here.
Happy Birthday Bowie!
Hi there you lovely lot,
So David Bowie turned 65 last weekend, and I have to say that he is hands down my favourite David. (Sorry Hoff) With a music career that has spanned 4 decades, I defy anybody to question his legend status. He is all kinds of awesome, not only is he one of the worldâs biggest musical talents â but he is an eccentric crusader for the weird and wonderful.
I mean, he guest starred in Spongebob Squarepants. Some iconic megastars may (wrongly) think they are above smartly dressed sponges and meowing snails â but not our David. He was a guest on the 2007 episode Atlantis SquarePantis, and gave the show itâs highest ever ratings. What a guy.
In 1986 he starred in Labyrinth as Jareth the Goblin King, and the fabulous gang at TruffleShuffle have got a brilliant collection of t shirts celebrating the many faces of David Bowie. So, to quote Jareth (with some creative license) âI ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and buy these T-shirtsâ¦â

Return to the Goblin City, our new Labyrinth collection!
Itâs been an exciting week here at Truffle Towers, mainly thanks to the long awaited launch of our brand new, official and exclusive range of Labyrinth T-shirts. Itâs something weâve wanted to be able to represent on the site for what feels like years so getting the opportunity to work closely with the amazing Jim Henson Company to create our very own tribute range has been totally awesome in every way. Weâve been tweaking and perfecting this collection over the last few months so itâs been such a great feeling to finally unleash the tees to all you TruffleShufflers and we are so happy with the fantastic response theyâve all received!
As one of the designers of the range, it was a great experience to return to the fantastical world of the Goblin City and really get under the skin of one of the all-time ultimate 80âs classics! We started with David Bowie and his genius turn as the Goblin King Jareth and we were of course inspired by his outrageous fashion (those skin tight leggings made a particularly big impressionâ¦) and the ultra catchy song from the film (Dance Magic Dance!). After playing with lots of ideas, we plumped for a really cool flyer style design for what would clearly be the coolest club night in the world! Check it out belowâ¦.
We also had to feature Ludo, the bumbling best friend we wish we all had, and of course that cute cheeky worm who was always around to say âEllo!â
Although we knew you guys loved the worm as much as we did, even we were surprised by just how much â this design pretty much sold out after 24 hours on the site and has even been snapped up by the fabulous Una Healy from The Saturdays who even tweeted a pic of her wearing it!
Great Amplified Styles Just Added!
We are loving the new range of rocking Amplified tees and hoodies which we have sneakily been adding to the site over the last couple of weeks!
If you love the Brit rockers Led Zeppelin and enjoy nothing more than flexing your air guitar muscles whilst listening to classic tracks such as 'Stairway to heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love' you should definitely check out our fab new Mothership tees!
Ladies long line Mothership tee £25.00, Men's Mothership tee £25.00
Maybe you like it a bit more raucous, thrashing guitars, tons of attitude... This Metallica tee may be right up your street! We've been waiting for Metallica tshirts for what seems like a lifetime and this wicked retro print of the 'Justice For All' album takes some beating!
Metallica tee £25.00
Yay!!! Wicked new Labyrinth tees just in!
If the mere mention of goblins, Jareth, the bog of eternal stench and that uber scary maze gets you brimming with excitement, you will be mightily impressed with our brand new Labyrinth TShirts, fresh on the site today!
With some wicked designs for both the men and ladies there is bound to be something to tempt you!
