Wow, so Spencers hasn't changed since I was a teenager?
I guess there is something oddly comforting in that fact, but it also makes me wonder how they survive if they don't adapt?
The first thing I saw upon entry was the wall of album tees. The same albums that were up in a different Spencer's when I was 15. They are all good choices, but I expected to not recognize at least a few, lol!
In fact the only merchandise I could tell was different was the introduction of the poop emoji for a few items.
Otherwise, Spencer's is a very funny gift shop filled with a variety of hilarious shirts varying in degrees of being appropriate to wear in public (oh yeah, some onesies too), hats, socks, shot glasses, flasks, furry handcuffs (and similar), lava lamps and an array of gag gifts.
I've always been about the shirts, but frankly the prices are pretty high for what you get. I did notice that a majority of the merchandise had signs for Buy One, Get 50% Off. You have to decide if it's a deal or not.
I wasn't spoken to by an employee the entire time I was there. Another thing that hasn't changed.
There isn't really a kid friendly section of the store. Some of the adult gifts are toward the back... but even some of the questionable shirts are right up front. So be mindful of who you wander in with. I wouldn't want you to find yourself in an awkward conversation with your 10 year old nephew or your grandmother.
This store always makes for intetesting browsing. The service may not be great and prices are high, but a trip here always makes me laugh! read more
