Review Time! Our Best Of The Best From 2017
Phew! Now all the excitement and chaos is over, we thought we would take a few minutes to sit back, grab a cuppa and reflect on the last year to see what our highlights were and what you guys we're loving on the site.
So! With that in mind, let's dive in and take a peep at our best of the best from 2017!
Pink Polly Pocket Heart Shaped Cross Body Bag
Truly the icing on the TruffleShuffle cake in 2017 was our amazing Polly Pocket Bags! When we first released these to the wild, the world went wild as we had countless features, articles and posts about them. We could barely keep up!
Reaching far corners of the world, it seems this was just what was missing from many 90s kids collections and the demand was so far beyond what we ever expected. It didn't take long for this little pink number to hit our top spot which is where it stayed for the rest of the year.
The Polly Pocket Bag has ARRIVED!
STOP THE PRESS!!! Polly Pocket has arrived at TruffleShuffle.com!!!
This wonderfully nostalgic bag has caused quite the stir, in fact you could justifiably refer to it as a media sensation! Yes, of course I'm talking about THE POLLY POCKET BAG!
The heart shaped accessory has been designed to look like the original mini toy we loved in our nineties youth. It even opens up to reveal a lining which replicates the inside of the original toy too. Someone give the designer a medal.
Millennials cannot get enough of this amazing creation which can now be yours for £37.99. Find it here.
If all that excitement was not enough! We also have some fantastic, official Polly Pocket Clothing too!
Pay homage with Homage Tees!
Emblazoned with the faces of British icons including Louis Theroux, Sir David Attenborough and Joanna Lumley, London label Homage Tees pay tribute to the subculture greats that deserve some serious props. We're huge fans of the late-90s styling and right-side-of-ironic vibes - it's no wonder these tees have been picked up by bloggers and celebs everywhere wanting to show love for their irreverent idols. Designed by an anonymous founder, Homage Tees are by the people, for the people.

'Today, you will find the most perfect retro t-shirt you've ever set eyes on, and you will be compelled to buy it.'
We are ther-oux trying to find a cooler t-shirt than this. Whether you love Louis shadowing our fave celebs, taking part in weird weekends, or producing amazing documentaries - this is the tee for you! Totally 90s tastic with a nod to the geeky and awesome Louis Theroux.
Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie Review
If there's ever been an excuse to pop open the bolly, the triumphant return of our favourite gruesome twosome in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is it!
What's it all about, darling?
When the star-studded fashion show intro against the thumping beat of Jason Derulo's Get Ugly began, we already knew we were in for a treat! The film has all the partying, booze, crazy fashion, naughtiness and 'sweetie darlings' galore we all know and love from the TV series but now there's the Gen Y additions of DIY Botox and a social media whirlwind, with selfies and Tweets aplenty, which Eddie struggles to understand. ("Do you feed my Twitter?" she asks at one point, mystified!)
The ladies are just as ludicrous yet somehow lovable as back in the 90s - the first crisis of the film is "Where is the champagne?!" (nothing's changed!). Patsy is a fashion editor and Eddie has become something of a washed up PR. A book deal flop prompts even more of a crisis than usual from flappy Edina leading to *SPOILER ALERT!* (though we feel you may have had to be living under a rock not to know this) accidentally knocking Kate Moss into the Thames - as you doâ¦
So what did TruffleShuffle think, sweeties?
We're pleased to report that the heavy-drinking dysfunctional duo are as amazing as ever, with most of the flick's laugh-out-loud moments coming from Eddie and Pats. Joanna Lumley is on top form as chain-smoking, incredibly selfish, platinum-doed bad influence Patsy. When the pair need to make a 'serious plan' to leave the country, it somehow results in drug and vodka-fuelled chaos with Patsy in the mix; she sells Saffy's daughter Lola as a cleaner in Cannes and poses as a man to inherit a rich woman's fortune courtesy of a dodgy looking stick-on moustache!
Just In! Independence Day Tees Which Will Have You Saying...."I have got to get me one of these!".
"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind."
It was chilling, it was thrilling and boy was it awesome! Launching its attack on our cinemas back in 1996, Independence Day has been a 90s classic ever since and with the upcoming sequel titled 'Independence Day: Resurgence' hitting our big screens in just a few week's time, we're about to get a whole new chapter to the story!
Weirdly, our main memories of watching this Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum classic was it always being the film of choice at school. Whether it was perhaps the last day of term, a rainy lunch break, or perhaps the day after exams, some of our more....easy going teachers would always let us count down the hours in style with a classic VHS. It's was heaven! Getting to see Will Smith and Bill Pullman tangle with an alien invasion with your friends before he takes a moment to smoke a cigar and say...."now that's what I call a close encounter", seriously....movie GOLD!
Always looking for a touch of the good old times in our everyday lives, we're tracked down and captured some of our very own Independence Day TShirts which are now on the site and ready to be yours!
With three designs to pick from, take a peep at the latest Movie TShirt invasion to take over TruffleTowers....
Espresso Yourself With Our Fab New Friends Central Perk Clothing!
Some show are good, some are great even, then some come along and totally dominate and define an era of television! One such show if of course FRIENDS!
Hitting our screens waaaay back in 1994 (which despite feeling like ten years ago, according to our calendars is actually a whopping 22 years ago! We know), FRIENDS became theeee sitcom of the 90's and early 00's thanks to it's quick whit, wacky plot lines and the odd mega feels moments with a pinch of will-they, won't-they in there for good measure.
Running for a staggering 236 episodes across 10 seasons, FRIENDS became as much of a part of many of our lives as actually hanging out with our own friends was! Naturally, as such a big icon this TV great has been part of our collection of designs for many moons now, but this certainly doesn't stop us keeping a look out for more and more Friends TShirt designs to add to the range which is exactly what we've gone and done. Take a peep....
Why not Perk up your wardrobe with this totally nostalgic Central Perk TShirt!
Featuring the classic Central Perk logo from the most famous coffee shop of the nineties, this is a real must have for any fan of this cult TV series.
