We all need duvet days once in a while, and in my house these tend to happen on a Sunday.  Sometimes, I just love to snuggle down, watch a DVD and just generally relax. However, I still like to inject a little Truffle Shuffle style into my comfort zone, so let me share my favourite products for a Truffle Shuffle Sunday.

I have a little girl, and we start our Sundays with her favourite breakfast – egg and soldiers. A classic, right? My girl loves to eat with this amazing Gruffalo breakfast set.

The Gruffalo is one of her favourite books, and so it’s a great way to start the day. It also includes a little mug, which is perfect for a nice warm drink.

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.

It’s 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!

So who's seen the new Müller ad? It's RETROTASTIC!

The company responsible for this advert is Studio TRI. These guys are also responsible for other great ads such as John Lewis' 'Never Knowingly Undersold' TV Advert, Yeo Valley's The Churned 'Forever' X Factor Advert and my current favourite ad the Walls Talking Dog - "Garage" Advert. All of them completely random, but all of them create great talking points.

Anyway, back to the new Müller ad.....

An advert that starts out with K.I.T.T from Knight Rider is 100% bound to capture my attention. But I never expected the ad to contain quite so many cult cartoon characters. Yogi bear is the second surprise in the ad (but sadly lacking a Boo-boo bear), but just as you're trying to figure the link between Knight Rider and Yogi Bear a whole host of boring business men are being turned into Mr Men and Little Miss characters??!?!? The screen is literally bursting with retro cartoon characters!! I counted 19 Mr Men and Little Miss characters, see if you can find more. The ad starts to take a slightly darker turn and needs saving... Who could possibly save the day? Muttley from Wacky Races of course!

To say this ad left me a little shocked and surprised would be an understatement and I don't really care about the what's, where's and why's of this advert and its links to yoghurt but all I know is I like it.

So may I thank Müller and Studio TRI for creating adverts I genuinely enjoy.

Here's the ad in question, enjoy....
