This is my favorite place to shop for cards and little treats for myself or for a friend. I have been going to Winkies since 2021. I have to control myself so that I do not buy one of each of the items in the store. It's a great place that everyone should visit.

Always a treat to visit. The last Winkies in the city. Great cards. Great candy. Great household supplies. Any seasonal item.

Winkie's has been around forever and one of those shops that will leave an impression. Located on the corner of Silver Spring and Lake Dr. In Whitefish Bay. Upstairs, there are beautiful items to decorate your home for every day and for the holidays. A wonderful selection of keepsake Hallmark ornaments and other treasures. Items here can be a bit pricey. They also have a delightful candy counter filled with favorite Chocolates. You will also find a nice selection of cards, baby baby items, and other gifts. Downstairs, you will find a variety of items, including hard to find oil cloth on the rolls, craft items, and candy from days long gone, including the Reggie bar for those that remember that. This floor is more of the 5&10 variety, but not at the prices of past variety stores. Unfortunately, this store is not accessible if you aren't able to get up a few stairs. My daughter was able to access the four stairs to get in while I lifted her wheelchair up them. One staff member told me we'd be able to use the freight elevator to get downstairs, but when we were ready to head down, the upstairs staff said it wasn't available to the public. This has happened to use once before when we came. Eventually, someone called downstairs, and the woman who initially said we could use it assisted us, along with a young man, with the elevator.

This shop came recommended by 3 different people when we told them we were moving to the area, and I can see why! Cute little shop, excellent selection of cards and gifts. We're new to the town, and I've stopped in a few times now - for a Valentine's day card and small presents and cards. They have a nice selection of cards and gifts for men, women, and children with a variety of interests. The prices are very reasonable. I was able to find a pretty unusual, specific card - to my surprise! My items fragile were wrapped with care. A few chocolates we purchased were fresh and tasted great. I'd say there's more selection for women/girl's gifts, but there are items for men and boys, as well. Tons of seasonal and unique merchandise that you won't find in chain stores. They also sell gift certificates, if you'd like to let your recipient do their own choosing.We will definitely be back to support this local business.

Winkie's has been part of the neighborhood forever, and for good reason. The upstairs has a great assortment of candy, cards, wrapping paper, gift bags, party supplies, novelties and Wisconsin themed items (including cheeseheads for those visiting from out of town). The downstairs has household items and a nice selection of toys and games for all ages. The staff is always friendly and willing to help or answer any questions. This is a real neighborhood gem, and I need to remember that more often!

Love this kitschy place. It's a bit eclectic and random but that's it's allure. It's not the cheapest place in town, and I'm ok with that because it has the stuff I want and I know I can usually find a great gift here.
