The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 185
Well hello another weekend! So great to see you again.
Like one of the most eager warehouse workers there has ever been, we find ourselves packing boxes like fitting a plethora or top retro films into a weekend. Thinking carefully and planning to fit everything in, we'll twist and turn our contents to make it fit just so before taping it all up, standing back and admiring our crafty work.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Take A Walk On The Wild Side With Your Next Brew!
For many of us in the land, a fresh morning cuppa is just about the perfect way to start a day. A time to take stock, reflect and to simply clear your mind before the day begins. Well.....for those of us without mini TruffleShufflers rushing around anyways!
One thing that is so often overlooked when trying to create the perfect brew is the humble mug. Are you still using that 2003 training day freebie? Or perhaps the one that you got with an Easter egg back in...well....you can't remember but the print is all faded? For shame!
Here at TruffleShuffle we believe that a cracking mug will really complete your perfect cuppa. Whether it raises a smile or simply reflects a little bit of you, a mug can really an extension of you for perhaps, around the office, at home or even on a camping trip away - a little taste of home maybe.
To help you find your perfect partner in crime, we've just added some super funky new mugs that are inspired by some of the coolest creatures ever to walk, swim or hop. Take a look at our latest range...
Are you a crazy cat person? Or do you just not know you are yet? Whichever you are, you're going to purring over this delightful cat mug which has ears and a tail!

Hot jam doughnuts! It's the weekend all over again? Okay, well if you insist!
Like a trusty and experienced local fishmongers (bear with us), we find ourselves seeking out some of the finest retro films like that mornings catch of the day. We're looking for something that's different, beautiful with plenty of action to it that will dazzle our customers and keep them coming back for more. Keeping our selection cooler than a high school jock in a teen film, we'll display them with pride like our ever growing DVD collection before selecting the perfect specimen to help us create the perfect fish pie and retro movie night in.
Have a happy retro weekend!

Exclusive New Polly Pocket Clothing Has Landed!
We're always hearing that good things come in small packages, well this has never been truer in the case of one of our all-time top retro passions....Polly Pocket!
Getting the latest set, collection or accessory was just about as exciting as things could get growing up...for us at least! Polly Pocket was a small perfect world you could take anywhere with you, whether it's a car trip (boooooriiiiinnng), to a friends or even your grandparents which would give you the chance to at any point dive into Polly's world and create an unlimited amount of weird and wonderful scenarios. A small taste of heaven!
Well! Part of our job responsibility here at Truffle Towers is bring these much loved classics back into your lives all these years later through the medium of awesome and 100% official vintage clothing and gifts which is juuuuust what we've gone and done!
Reminisce about this childhood favourite in true TruffleShuffle style with this super cute exclusive Polly Pocket TShirt!
10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About… Monopoly
Whether you're somewhat of a board gaming master, or you just like to wind away the odd rainy weekend, Monopoly is surely one of the top games in your collection. If not, it should be! With over a whopping 80 years of being sent to jail, playing a Community Chest card and building and empire, Monopoly has been a household staple and we're sure it will be around for a long while yet.
To help celebrate this true retro icon and our latest range of Monopoly Merchandise which has just hit our site, we thought we would do some digging and sniff out some cool facts to share with you guys.
So! Without further ado, let us pass GO, collect £200 and let the fact finding begin! Enjoy...
1. As odd as it seems for such an iconic game, it was actually initially rejected by Parker Brothers for having '52 fundamental errors'. These included game length and simply how complex it was. Mad huh.
2. The games mascot or 'The Monopoly guy' is actually called Rich Uncle Pennybags which was also the games original title.

Sweet potato pie! How can it be? Another retro movie weekend so soon? Well....if we must!
Like the first pioneering pilots ever to reach the skies, we find ourselves once again doing some last-minute checks before our big leap of faith into the weekend. Sofa....check! Snacks....check! Top retro characters....you betcha! Firing up our engines, we'll power our way down the runway before lifting into the unknown. Reaching dizzying heights before we even know it, we'll be fired off to far and distant lands like some of the most iconic characters ever to hit the silver screen where more adventures than we can even imagine await us.
Have a happy retro weekend!
