Welcome to our Holiday Gift and Shopping Guide, your one-stop destination for finding the perfect presents this season! Whether you’re looking for thoughtful gifts for loved ones, unique stocking stuffers, or the latest trends, we’ve curated a list of must-have items that will make your holiday shopping a breeze.

While online giants and big box retailers seem to be everywhere, small businesses provide a range of benefits that go far beyond the ease of a mouse click or mountains of merchandise. Shopping local retailers is more than just a transaction – it is crucial for maintaining the economic foundation of local communities.

After the devastating floods in our region this past summer, we’re starting to see more and more local businesses re-opening their doors.  Here at Spencer Radio Group we believe it is more important than ever to SHOP LOCAL and SUPPORT local businesses!!  There are many benefits to shopping at local businesses …

  • Strengthen the local economy: A large percentage of the money spent at small businesses stays in the community.
  • Enhanced customer service: Owners and employees of small businesses have a keen interest in keeping customers happy.
  • Support the community: Small businesses serve the community through the products and services they offer, and many give back in other ways as well.
  • Innovative offerings: Small businesses are not beholden to corporate policies or franchise restrictions, so they can more readily bring new life to existing ideas and trends.
  • Job creation: Small businesses employ a significant percentage of the workforce and frequently provide jobs that might not be available in larger corporate settings.

The Hen House

With over 20 years of combined experience in retail goods, luxury home decor, and custom furnishings, two friends dreamed of creating something truly special. In 2016, they purchased The Hen House on Grand Ave in Spencer, Iowa, a local favorite for luxury home goods and unique gifts. Driven by a love for quality and a passion for flavor, they expanded in 2022 to introduce high-quality extra virgin olive oils, vinegars, and gourmet goods—bringing a whole new layer of elegance to the store. Every item in The Hen House reflects their commitment to enriching homes and celebrating the art of fine living.  Shop the Hen House’s wide variety of products at HENHOUSESPENCER.COM.

Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson was no different than any Montreal hockey fan, increasingly impatient over talk of the team's promising potential. Turns out, the future has arrived perhaps a little ahead of schedule, and propelled by forward Alex Newhook's knack for scoring Game 7 playoff series-clinching goals.
