Love Monopoly? Up Your Game With Our Latest Sets!
Possibly one of the oldest and most iconic games ever, they actually found a set carved into the floor of a cave from back when we used to call them home.....okay okay maybe not that old but you get the picture!
For as long as we can can possibly remember, Monopoly has been a household staple with every home having to own its own set tucked away ready to whip out on the long rainy days. Sooo many hours have been spent around the table as household politics start to unfold and everyone looks to snap up as many properties as possible, waiting for their chance to begin building their empire and become the ultimate master of the board.

Exclusive New 'I Survived Jurassic Park' T-Shirts!
Just when you thought our exclusive range of Jurassic Park T-Shirts couldn't fossil-bly get any better, we've only gone and done it!
Inspired by one of the most iconic theme parks ever, Jurassic Park was home to some of the world's most dangerous and deadly creatures including a whole host of genetically re-created Dinosaurs from prehistoric times, all of which were the brainchild of an elderly billionaire philanthropist. Pretty standard stuff right?
As we're sure all you retro movie lovers will know, during one of the parks tours, a huge storm hits fictional Isla Nublar, an islet located off Costa Rica. To make matter worse, their geeky computer programmer, Dennis Nedry who has been bribed to steal dinosaur embryos disables all security systems in the park to allow him to gain access and steal what he needs. Things quickly turn from bad to worse as all the ancient beasts begin to break free and run amok with only freedom and hunting on their minds!

One of the biggest films of the 90s, this Steven Spielberg classic will certainly always have a home in our personal movie collections and now even more love from our exclusive range of movie T-Shirts!
TruffleShuffle Insider: Meet…Michelle
Here it is! Working our way through all the lovely names and faces of the TruffleShuffle dream team, weâve been taking a little time each month to put one unsuspecting victim member of staff in the spotlight as we fire a whirlwind of questions at them and see what spins back out.
This time itâs the turn of the voice of TruffleShuffle Michelle to take on our rapid fire questions as we chat to her and share with you guys who she is, what she does here and what rocks her world.... other than cool tshirts of course! Hold on to your hats folks!
What do you do here at Truffle Towers?
I take care of Customer service at TruffleShuffle. This also includes dealing with Ebay, Amazon and all other projects we dig our claws into! I also share the responsibility of describing all the exciting items we sell on the website. The next time you read a description on the site, you should say it in a Scottish accent...because I'm Scottish - so it makes sense, obviously!

How long have you been at TruffleShuffle?
Guest Post: My Week At TruffleShuffle By Aka
Hello, my name is Akachukwu Oguine and I just finished working at TruffleShuffle for a week as work experience. I came from Lagos to Reading for holiday, but stayed in Bristol for a week to work for the best T-shirt company ever! (Not up for discussion!)
Every day I had many different tasks and jobs to do in different areas of the business that had been planned for me by the members of the TruffleShuffle team to provide me with a better understanding about how the business works in each stage of development from packaging items to pitching ideas.
In this blog post, I will be taking you through the things I did during my work experience, day by day.
Day 1: Monday
When I first arrived at TruffleShuffle, I was introduced to every available member of the TruffleShuffle family including Iain, Amy, James, Pat, Ron, Andy, Lucy, Chris, Tracey, Claire and (Lee) Mullins.
The first task I had to complete was helping Ron and Andy pick and pack orders placed over the weekend. I enjoyed this because it was one of the more hands-on jobs I did during the week. The task was to look at the invoices, read the store codes on them and match them to the codes of the ordered items in the warehouse. It was also great because I realized how swift operations in the warehouse had to be to get all first class orders made on Sunday out by 4.00pm or earlier!
