TruffleShuffle Insider: Meet…Claire
We're back again with another hop, skip and jump into the people behind the TruffleShuffle machine!
As some of you may have spotted, each month we're taking a little time to harass introduce you to one of the resident TruffleShufflers to find out a little more about who they are, what they do and what makes them tick.
This time itâs the turn of our magnificent MD and baking queen Claire....
What do you do here at Truffle Towers?
My official title is MD although I share that title with my fellow co-founder Pat â I tend to look after the creative side of the business so my main role is managing the buying team and our in house design team to ensure weâre always adding lots of awesome new goodies to the site which is a lot of fun. I also look after our offline marketing, working alongside our fabulous PR Agency, Becky White PR to ensure we spread the word of TruffleShuffle far and wide.
I also keep an eye on operations and I do the HR for the business too although Iâm quite lucky with that as we have a fantastic team so they donât give me too many issues

TruffleShuffle Buyers August Look of the Month!
Hi everyone!
This new Goonies tee has really caught my attention and so becomes the basis for my ladies look of the month! The combination of the super comfy boyfriend fit with rolled sleeves, along with the contemporary edge to the print, makes this a sure fire winner in my opinion!
In this nice hot weather it seems a shame not to get the pins out too, so I am teaming it with a fun, pleated PU skirt from Topshop and our statement Mickey Mouse Bangle from Gogo Philip.
Now for the boys!
The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 108
Eddie Munster! It is the weekend!
So a brightly decorated corner of a of family living room, on top a three legged table, inside a neon lit gold fish bowl. Let us be your over active often forgetful pet goldfish while we merrily swim about in circles of retro movie mayhem. We'll hide in our underwater castle of cinematic greatness, before we end up on our back forever destined to be flushed away into the great abyss of celluloid wonder.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Goonies: Where are they 29 years on....
HEY YOU GUYS! 80s cult classic, The Goonies, a story about a band of pre-teens who live in the "Goon Docks" neighbourhood of Astoria, Oregon attempt to save their homes from demolition, and in doing so, discover an old Spanish map that leads them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willie, a legendary 17th-century pirate turns 29 today!!!
To celebrate such an important birthday in TruffleShuffle's calendar we wanted to bring some Goonies-love to the blog. But since we've already shown you how to do the TruffleShuffle and discussed 5 Things You Didn't Know About The Goonies, I thought (with a Goonies sequel in the pipeline) we'd catch up with the some of the stars.... Come with us as we investigate what became of the cast of the 1985's The Goonies.
Sean Astin â Michael 'Mikey' Walsh
Sean Astin played the adventurous Mikey, who led the gang on their hunt for One-Eyed Willie's treasure, and his experience of quests stood him in good stead for his highest profile post-Goonies role, as Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings. As well as Hobbiting it up, Sean nabbed himself an Oscar nomination with his wife for their short film Kangaroo Court (1994), starred in 24, as well as other hit TV shows including My Name Is Earl and most recently became the voice for Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
