13 years ago this very month we took to the interwebs and registered the weird and wonderful domain name TruffleShuffle.co.uk & we were officially born! To mark this super special occasion, we thought we would take a little walk down memory lane and give you our top 13 memorable moments at here at TruffleShuffle. Hopefully you'll learn a little something about who we are, where we've come from and where we're heading. Let's go!

1. MAY 2004

We sold our very first t-shirt on the mighty (old looking) eBay. With the money from this sale, we scurried online and purchased the domain name truffleshuffle.co.uk. Why TruffleShuffle? It's retro, it's cool and we LOVE the Goonies?!

HEY YOU GUYS! 80s cult classic, The Goonies, a story about a band of pre-teens who live in the "Goon Docks" neighbourhood of Astoria, Oregon attempt to save their homes from demolition, and in doing so, discover an old Spanish map that leads them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willie, a legendary 17th-century pirate turns 29 today!!!

To celebrate such an important birthday in TruffleShuffle's calendar we wanted to bring some Goonies-love to the blog. But since we've already shown you how to do the TruffleShuffle and discussed 5 Things You Didn't Know About The Goonies, I thought (with a Goonies sequel in the pipeline) we'd catch up with the some of the stars.... Come with us as we investigate what became of the cast of the 1985's The Goonies.

Sean Astin – Michael 'Mikey' Walsh

Sean Astin played the adventurous Mikey, who led the gang on their hunt for One-Eyed Willie's treasure, and his experience of quests stood him in good stead for his highest profile post-Goonies role, as Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings. As well as Hobbiting it up, Sean nabbed himself an Oscar nomination with his wife for their short film Kangaroo Court (1994), starred in 24, as well as other hit TV shows including My Name Is Earl and most recently became the voice for Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

We can hardly believe it!

A staggering ten years ago today we decided to put our unhealthy internet addiction to good use and registered a strange domain name, TruffleShuffle.co.uk. A decade later, we have sold 1,838,264+ t-shirts and still going strong! None of this would be possible without our amazing fans and customers - YOU!

To say a huuuge thank you to everyone and to celebrate our big 1-0, here's 10% off everything for one day only!

Look how far we've come! Back in 2004 TruffleShuffle was being run from a flat, working away late into the night to ship out as many orders as possible, all the while looking for more and even cooler retro designs from our childhood to sell....

Now we have a 7,000 square foot warehouse with a 13 strong team or TruffleShufflers working away to find, photograph, pick and pack your orders and of course answering any questions you might have. As well as keeping up the fun factor :)
