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.

15 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About...TruffleShuffle.com!

Hold on to your hats Truffle fans! As you know we love a good "10 Things You Didn't Know About..." style blog post, mainly so we can do some extra research into some of our favourite things, movies and shows. WELL! We've decided to turn things on us for a change, giving you lucky lot the chance to learn a few facts about our little selves that might surprise, scare, amaze or simply entertain.

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!

Get ALL OVER Our Amazing New Exclusive Mr Gugu & Miss Go Range!

We LOVE how the fab prints on a Mr Gugu & Miss Go tee go all around, up and down and around about, basically covering the whole garment from top to toe (or neck to hem). This makes them super special, splendiferous creations which really make a statement and stand out from a regular, run of the mill tee (not that you will find any of those on our site, thank you, no siree Bob).

And what's more the designers here at Truffle Towers and Mr Gugu & Miss Go have been collaborating, resulting in our very own range of EXCLUSIVE tees, sweaters and gorgeous dresses. So do not tarry and get yourself on down to our home TruffleShuffle.com to sample some of these delicious delights!
