Spencer Gifts (also known as Spencer's) is a store, usually located in shopping malls. It is very similar to Hot Topic and sells many of the same types of T-shirts and merchandise. Most T-shirts that both stores sell will usually have the logo of a rock and roll or heavy metal band on them, or a smart Alec statement. Spencer Gifts was founded in 1947 and it also sells drug paraphernalia, cigarette lighters, beer mugs, sex toys and gambling devices.
