Fun store with an eclectic selection of vintage and modern knickknacks that make great gag gifts or party gifts. Staff was friendly and didn’t mind us browsing and laughing as we flipped through the metal wall signs and funny books. Keep an eye on Groupon, too — we found a 50% off coupon available!

I have been going to Tiddle E Winks since they opened, how could anyone resist with a name like this? Many childhood memories invoked with retro candies and collectables. Heidi has created a fun place to shop as you walk down memory lane. Cool stuff.

Great little shop right off of Sonoma Square. Lots of thoughtful and funny gifts. Prices are on the higher side, but these gifts are very unique! Lots of California love gifts, which I LOVE, so I splurged. Great place to grab some trinkets for your friends back home and yourself. The selection was good and the owner was warm and friendly.

Loved this store! So much fun! Candy from your childhood… cute souveniers of CA and Sonoma… Took two tours around this small store and bet I still did not see anything! DId some awesome Christmas shopping(yes, in April!) as well as for some friends who live in other states.

Fun candy and gift shop with a 50−60s flare. Looking for an oldie but favorite candy, it could be here. Lunch boxes, calendars, pins, magnets and other chotkies adorn the walls. Fun place to pop into and a great place to grab out of the ordinary gifts.

SUCH a cute little shop in ‘Sonoma Square’! You always find a place like this in the touristy parts of a city or the well traveled parts at least. However I found this one the most unique of the six or seven different kinds I have visited around the states. The lady at the counter was the sweetest and made conversation with just about everyone that walked in and the shop dog was so darn cute! Too bad it didn’t have a price tag! Haha This was the only place I managed to find a shot glass for that one friend that always wants a shot glass. Of everything so plain and bland in Sonoma(which I loved), this is where all the pizazz was hiding. You MUST stop here for all your unique, somewhat local, loud and ‘did I just really see that?’ gifts. I could have walked out with everything. Instead I complimented her beautiful button necklace, bought my shot glass and a cute cup that said«honey» with burger buns below. Get it? I could have gone broke easily.

Totally cool, but totally overpriced, so you make the call.

This shop is just darling. They have a huge selection of candy(nostalgic candy you haven’t seen since you were a kid, and hard to find candy, as well as your favorites). They also have a good selection of gifts: embroidered pillows for every state, cute birthday surprises(surprise balls, confetti shooters, poppers, sparklers, etc), vintage finds, weird toys, etc. All in all, a very cute shop and worth stopping in. Come on, who doesn’t love some sugar?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! It is truly like stepping back in time. The shop is decorated really cute and well stocked with candies and items from all generations. It is my go to place for Charleston Chews. I even found a Soda Jerk jacket at one time, as well as vintage Wizard of Oz signs. Heidi the owner is extremely nice and has always been quite helpful when we have come in with new recommendations of things that we might like. She introduced us to «Fizzies» and now we are hooked. A must to visit when in Sonoma.

What an adorable little shop! They had some hilarious knick knacks and a big assortment of candies. It would be a great place to pick up fun little gifts. It had all kinds of classic games and candies. I really liked their big assortment of striped paper straws. Too cute! It’s worth a stop in.

This store was ADORABLE. I could have spent hours roaming around and looking at all of the goodies, vintage games and the amazing selection of candy. Some items were priced a bit high while others were very affordable(I bought a mouth harp for $ 3!) The staff was very friendly and it was in a great location in Sonoma. If we are ever back in this area, I will certainly return to this little gem.

pop rocks $ 1, marukawa gum $ 2.50 reliving my childhood: priceless store is, well a candy store so its really pretty and colorful! So many retro kitschy goodness you can buy for your apartment. I also like the retro toys –there are vintage/antique ones displayed on higher shelves — for display only– and the lady behind the counter is such a sweetie. i LOVE this place! its amazing!

Visit on 11−04−12. The store is located along the strip of shops at the Sonoma Plaza. We were in the area doing a little window shopping and enjoying the last bit of warm weather before the winter chills. My family came upon this quaint store and we walked in for a visit. The store is crowded with all kinds of candy, collectibles, and classic games filling every corner. A quick walk through and I was pretty much done with my visit. Also, not a single person greeted me, asked if I needed help, or said bye as I left. Still, if you find yourself in the area, this store is worth a stop during your Sonoma Plaza visit. (+) lots of retro candy, remember Pop Rocks?

THE. CUTEST. VINTAGE. STORE. EVER!!! I was like a kid in a candy store when I entered this haven for kitsch. They had everything a person like me could want including these cute Hello Kitty lunch boxes that read«I Love Nerdy Boys»!! That would be so appropriate for me because I love them too! Aside from that they had vintage candy and other knick knacks. I could totally go back when I am in town again! Perhaps when I do come back I will have a nerdy boy by my side, you never know! *WINK*

This is the Best Stocking Stuffer Store Ever! So said Gayle as she happily filled up her basket for various members of our extended Family. We first came in near closing time on Friday, returned to our Guest House to lay them all out, and then returned on Saturday to pick up the Angel Monkey she wanted, and to further supplement the collection. It’s a fun and colourful store, with lots of temptation, and which features a wide variety of stuff tucked in many places throughout. It’s a fun and well-organized place to explore and I discovered something new with each visit. I picked up a few things myself, the best item being a magnetic button that said — Chai(in Hebrew Letters) Maintenance. There’s also a mezuzah on the store door, so I enjoyed the little bit of Holiday Ruach that was spread around the sales floor. Tiddle E Winks also carries an extensive selection of vintage(but fresh) candy, including the Twin Bing — An Iowa favourite.

What a fun store. Powell’s eat your heart out. Tiddle E Winks is on the up and up. From candy to vintage toys, this store has a bit of just enough to bring you back to your childhood. In another 20 years or so kids wont even know what half the stuff in this store is all about but hopefully the owners can do their best to keep a part of the fun history alive. Make sure to grab all that you can because the prices are reasonable for candies you don’t see often.
