What stores do you remember shopping at as a teen? One of my favorite stores to go into was Spencer’s, although I almost never bought anything there. They have unique gifts for family and friends including these silly Black/White Alien Stripe Knee High Socks. They have a bigger selection then I remember. I always felt like I was pushing the envelope by walking in there. I would say, now that I’m a mom, that I wouldn’t really want my teenager hanging out there. They do have gifts for all ages, but they have stuff that is more adult in nature. I haven’t been there in a while, so maybe those things are not quite as accessible as they were when I was a teen.
It’s totally fun finding brands from when I was a kid, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles items! When I was in middle school, three other girlfriends and I always said we were the turtles. (Yes, we were very high with the “cool” factor) I was Donatello. 🙂 They even have Sesame Street and the Muppets merchandise there. My sister Michelle LOVED Kermit the Frog. They also have cool brands like: Marvel, DC Comics, Twilight, and Nintendo. Maybe I’ll have to check out the Nintendo selection for my son’s birthday. He can’t seem to get enough Mario items. I’d actually like to get myself one of those hinged wallets, except half the time I’m throwing my little change purse wallet in my jeans and not carrying a purse. Those wallets would be way too big.
If you’re a mother of a teenager, what stores do your kids shop in? Seeing that mine are still 6 and under, I’m dealing with The Disney Store, candy and toy stores.

I use to shop Spencer’s in our mall all the time as a teen but now that I’m a parent we avoid it. The gifts in there went from funny to down right raunchy.
