Great Amplified Styles Just Added!

We are loving the new range of rocking Amplified tees and hoodies which we have sneakily been adding to the site over the last couple of weeks!

If you love the Brit rockers Led Zeppelin and enjoy nothing more than flexing your air guitar muscles whilst listening to classic tracks such as 'Stairway to heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love' you should definitely check out our fab new Mothership tees!

Ladies long line Mothership tee £25.00, Men's Mothership tee £25.00

Maybe you like it a bit more raucous, thrashing guitars, tons of attitude... This Metallica tee may be right up your street! We've been waiting for Metallica tshirts for what seems like a lifetime and this wicked retro print of the 'Justice For All' album takes some beating!

Swedish Vicar in Dodgy T-Shirt Probe…

We had a little chuckle at this - a Stockholm pastor is being probed by the Church for wearing a dodgy men's t shirt.

Apparently, colleagues saw a photo on his facebook profile of the naughty minister wearing a tee with a print of a well known Swedish porn film, and are currently working out what action to take. The photo was taken while he was supervising a children's trip to France.

Maybe he could have sparked less of an outrage by wearing something slightly less risky - he could have even praised the Lord himself with this amazing Jesus T Shirt from Chunk!

Punky Allsorts serves up some delicious treats!

We could hardly contain our excitement when we received the new Punky Allsorts 'Miniatures Collection' here at Truffle Towers! A veritable feast of sweet treats and the nations favourite dinners, thankfully the range has also been extended to include 'Punky for Homme', so the guys don't miss out! The hot and uber stylish Rachel Bilson has been spotted out flashing her delicious 'A La Tart' ring, a mouth wateringly beautiful and intricately hand crafted stunner featuring a plate of patisserie tarts which look good enough to eat (non-edible though I'm afraid)!

If you are partial to a featherweight Flump or one of Bertie's special Liquorice Allsorts, you should definitely check out the gorgeous mock pearl bracelets and necklaces!

Beans on Toast and Egg on Chips are always a yummy treat (especially served up the morning after a raucous night on the tiles!) and  they can now be enjoyed as a stylish accessory in the form of a ring and quirky sets of cuff links. A real talking point!

So, why not check out the full range, they make awesome Crimbo gifts and even though they have been loving crafted by hand in the UK, are an amazingly great price, so you can treat yourself too and indulge in your fave treats all day long! We do like to spoil you! xoxo
