What does a Christmas Jumper mean to you?
For me it's not so much the Christmas Jumper but the whole Festive Season. The season brings about a chance for everyone to stretch the boundaries of what is normally publically acceptable, it's a very liberating, fun and exciting feeling to be able to walk into a shop, nip to my local pub or even book into a high end restaurant wearing a garish, Cheesy Christmas Jumper which rather than the ridicule you would expect at any other time of year, sparks cheers, compliments and the much loved 'where did you get that?'.
Wrap Up Warm With TruffleShuffle This Bonfire Night!
Wooosh! Fizzle! Kablaaamo!
No, it's not an episode of Batman from the 60's, it's likely these are some of the noises you may be hearing tonight! Just a mere five days after getting dressed up like a weirdo, Bonfire Night is most likely everyoneâs second favourite day of fun.
Building fires out of old pieces of discarded furniture, crumpling up newspaper and stuffing them in an old pair of paisley pyjamas your kind old granpappy donated to you for the Guy.
Keeping warm was the thing - your mum would wrap you up as if preparing for a hike to Antarctica, Parker, mittens with the piece of string, scarf and woolly hat, never before has anyone been so cosy.
So Let TruffleShuffle be your over-protective loving Mother this year and wrap you up nice and snug before you go off and enjoy bonfire night. From Sonic, Sesame Street and Care Bears to Muppets and Gremlins, we have a great selection of warm and cosy hats to keep you snug and don't forget to add one of our Harry Potter scarves for some extra warmth!
Amp up your style with our New DC Headphones!
Now, if you're anything like me, one of the most important things in life (after cups of tea, a comfy worm bed and a big roast dinner obviously) is music! Whether it's to help relax after a long day, motivate you at the gym, drown out that annoying person on the phone while on the bus or simply set the mood for a good night out, music probably plays quite a big part in everyone's lives and is always there to pick you up when times are hard.
Naturally, one thing that's on the minds of many music lover is how to take that music with you wherever you go and how to make that experience as awesome as possible! One sure fire way and something that should always be part of your accessories arsenal is a good set of headphones. A good set can really make the difference in both sound and of course style - well we all want things to look cool too huh!
Introducing our latest accessories to save the day! These new DC Headphones are an all things music and all things retro lovers dream! Superhero headphones are about as cool as things come and with their amazing colours, can really become as much a part of your style, as your sound experience.
Movember Competition! xoxo
We moustache you a question!
The start of November has arrived! What does this mean? MOVEMBER! For anyone unsure about what this is - it's an amazing month long campaign involving the growing of moustaches to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives. By encouraging men to get involved, Movember aims to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths. Besides getting an annual check-up, the Movember Foundation encourages men to be aware of any family history of cancer, and to adopt a more healthy lifestyle.
Throughout the month of November, TruffleShuffle will be running a competition, involving all your best Movember pictures!
All you have to do is take a pic of you rocking your moustache and send it to competitions@truffleshuffle.co.uk. We'll then upload it to a Facebook album - the picture with the most 'likes' will land the owner £50 to his Movember account, along with a TruffleShuffle gift voucher! The picture can be as serious or as silly as you like - and of course, if you're rocking a TruffleShuffle tee it can only work in your favour huh?
The 80's, and the TruffleShuffle shelves are filled with inspiration...

Lounging About The House!
In a few weeks (fingers crossed) I will be moving into my first house and have begun buying items to make my house a home. Apart from the obvious surround sound systems and large screen TVs that are compulsory for any man buying his first house I have also been on the look-out for some awesome retro loungewear.
Luckily we have added loads of new loungewear items to the site over the past couple of months so there's loads to choose from, below are some items that I will be adding to my collection in time for the move:
Men's DC Comics Comic Print Batman Lounge Pants
