Spencers Retro 70's Creative Gifts
STUFF FROM THE GROOVY 70'S
We know that you love the 70's, otherwise you would not be here! It may be that you just know someone who loves the 70's and are looking for that special gift? Some people like little trinkets while when some of us were younger, we tended to gravitate towards more technological toys and geeky novelties!
Even if you didn't have tape on your glasses or like Star Wars, you probably liked the music or the savvy slang that only John Travolta or the Valley Girls would use! "Like, that's awesome!"
Finding that perfect gift or gag gift can be a real difficult dilemma; this site may be able to help in solving the needs of the Haight Ashbury fan or the music lover of the nostalgic 70's era
We are sure you can find something for that disco Dave or Dame. While here, you can dig on some cool retro slang or sayings, as well as see some groovy graphics.
Right on, Right on.
52 OUNCE LAVA LAMP
Lava lamps have always been my favorite 70's nostalgic item. These never go out of style and these are metallic and are sturdier than some of the plastic ones out there. These hold about 52 ounces and have several color combinations to choose from. Click on the lamp photo to take you to the website so you can see the tech specs on these and other groovy items!

UDO DISCO BALL
This reminds me of the light that my Grandma had in front of her silver Christmas tree but this one revolves and gives you that nightclub feel. Turn up the tunes and groove to the music as you check out the psychedelic lighting!! Very inexpensive and a must for the 70's fan or for that dorm room!

8 INCH MIRROR BALL WITH LEDS
The first time I ever saw one of these in use was at a Pink Floyd laser light show in the 70's. I am no old enough the ballroom but do remember Travolta on the dance floor when they used one in Saturday Night Fever. This one gives a lot of movement and also is light responsive so it will project light to the music.

STROBE 360 BLUE
Along with the blacklight and disco ball, you also need this one! Everyone needs to experience or re-experience a strobe light! I remember these at parties when I was growing up. You can't be without one so you can dance the night away!

FOG MACHINE WITH TIMER
Remember all those cool concerts that had fog rolling on the stage? Well, wouldn't it be a blast to be able to do that at any party or just for fun? This machine will let out a steady amount of fog or will fog up everything all at one time! There is also a timer. What a neat retro item!
