Our Story
Bringing Retro Back To Life
Based on the beautiful Gold Coast, Retro Wink was born out of a love for the charm of the past and the cool vibes of today. We believe retro isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about timeless design, good vibes, and a little cheeky fun. Retro is cool. Retro is modern.
Whether it’s for you, your mate, your mom, your dad, or that friend who still wears a fanny pack unironically we’ve got something that’ll hit the mark.
At Retro Wink, we wanted to offer Aussies a chance to relive the good old days with a curated selection of high-quality, retro-inspired products. Whether it’s for that perfect gift or something to brighten up your own space, we’ve got the goods to bring a bit of vintage magic into your world — no time machine required.
Retro Wink was born from the simple idea that everyone deserves a little more charm, character, and style. So why not bring back the best of the past and give it a fresh, modern twist? Because let’s be honest, the 90s called, and they’ve got great taste.
Gift Hampers
Curated Cool. Bundled to Impress.
We bundle like it’s an art form; retro style. Whether you’re shopping for your BFF, your partner, your cool mum, or your “I swear I’m hard to buy for” mate, our gift bundles have you covered. We’re talking instant cameras with all the cute bits, CD players paired with throwback hits, and audio treats packed up with personality.
Every bundle tells a story; a little spark of nostalgia wrapped in good vibes and memories waiting to happen. These aren’t just gifts, they’re moments you can hold.
It’s like the mixtape of gifts; curated, charming, and guaranteed to get a smile.
No guesswork. No stress. Just bundles of joy (literally).
THE COOLEST WAY TO GIFT
Snap it, Print it, Love it
Snap it, print it, love it. Our Photo & Memories collection is bursting with instant cameras, pocket-sized printers, and our Picture Perfect Bundles — all handpicked to take you on a journey down memory lane (with better lighting). Whether you're building a wall of Polaroid fame, curating the perfect gift, or just reliving the glory days one click at a time, we've gathered the goodies to make your memories shine (and stick to your fridge, obviously).
Locals Matters
Local Legends, Retro Vibe
Retro’s great; but retro with a local twist? Even better. We’re all about teaming up with Gold Coast legends to add some handcrafted goodness to the mix. Think retro-inspired candles, art, illustrations, quirky bits and pieces, and other feel-good gems created by makers who now call this coastline home.
This collection is just getting started, and we’re already crafting plans to bring in even more unique creations from local hands and creative minds. Consider this the beginning of something bigger; a growing lineup of gifts with character, personality, and a little soul.
Because the only thing cooler than retro… is retro with a story behind it.

I got the CD speaker hamper with the whiskey set for my boyfriend and it was a huge hit, perfect gift idea.
