This morning I received a very interesting package! Tearing apart the brown paper layers, it soon became clear there were some VERY special goodies hidden beneath. A small feast of astronaut food! Thanks to the lovely guys who supply us with our NASA tees, we were able to sample the delights of 'freeze-dried ready to eat space food' (something that by the sound of it, the boys had wanted to do for years!). First up was the Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream, followed by the Chocolate Protein Bar and to finish, the Peanut Butter Protein Bar. The concept is weirdly exciting, the flavours weirdly accurate and the texture, interesting!

Honouring the birthday of Roger Hargreaves, the master illustrator and author behind the Little Miss and Mr Men books we all adored as kids (and as adults too) who would have been 76 today. Who was your favourite character? Mine was Little Miss Splendid (for reasons I really shouldn't need to explain, teehee). Why not check out our splendid offering of wicked Mr Men and Little Miss clothing and gifts. Whether you are grumpy, naughty or a real chatterbox, there's bound to be something for you!

We're always adding shedloads of awesome new stuff to the site but here's a few of our favourites from this week....

With only 25 days to go to THE BIG DAY, we're starting to get pretty excited about the impending Royal Wedding and our new fit for a Princess, Little Miss tee is the perfect way to welcome the celebrations. With sparkly blue jewels on her golden crown, Little Miss Princess is the latest addition to the classic series of children's stories, created by Adam Hargreaves in time for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Our exclusive tee features a shot of her in all her royal glory making it perfect for any fellow princesses in waiting! Click the pic to find out more...

This unmistakeable Kiss tee from Amplified is definitely a stand out design from their Spring Summer collection.  Featuring a cracking shot of Kiss frontman, Gene Simmons complete of course with his trademark facepaint, we think this Lick It Up tee is a future Amplified classic.

If TruffleShuffle did cameras.........

Oh wait, we do! This is no ordinary bit of kit though. Built completely from LEGO bricks, it can’t be taken apart but bricks can be added to the top or bottom of the camera so you can dig out your old toy box and start putting those boxes of lego back into use. Perfect for us grown ups who can still smell those little plastics bricks as if we were ten years old, kids will obviously love it too making it perfect for their first foray into the world of photography. Let's be clear, this is no toy though; it’s a full functioning 3 Megapixel digital camera, featuring a color 1.5” LCD screen.  It takes high quality photos with the built-in flash, fixed focus and digital zoom and  holds up to 80 photos at a time. Prepare for the nods of approval when you get this out and start snapping away.....

Last Thursday, alarm clocks set at 3am (yes, that's right) us TruffleShuffle buyers, hazily awoke from our slumbers and prepared ourselves for a long day of trade show fun. The destination, Bread & Butter in Berlin. This is where we head for a bi-annual buying trip, a place to meet up with existing suppliers for a chin-wag and view of the new collections for 2011. It's also a fab opportunity to source new ranges and expand our current supplier base as we are always super keen to introduce new exciting brands and product to the site.

Upon arriving at Heathrow, the first thing on our minds was BREKKIE! We needed some serious fuel for the day ahead and some kind of a feast to keep us awake and perky! After checking in, we swiftly made our way to Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food restaurant and one Eggs Norwegian, one full English, one Pancakes with banana, two apple juices and two coffees later we were ready to go!

Taking off at 7.05am, we flew high above the clouds and took in the most stunning sun rise; some more coffees and a little nap later, we had arrived! Set in the amazing old Tempelhof airport, Bread & Butter attracts buyers from all over the world and is a showcase for major brands such as Replay and Superdry as well as smaller up and coming brands.
