This is a favorite when we go to Lake Geneva. We were just there this past weekend. As always, the lady behind the counter, who I believe is Christine(?) Is so inviting, warm and fun! We spent more time talking to her than even shopping l o.L This is a must stop!!! read more

During a stay-cation in Lake Geneva, we visited Christine's for some shot glasses. Found some cute ones. However, after using them, leaving them in the sink (overnight) with some water inside the shot glass, we woke up to the paint chipping off the outside. This happened to two of the six we purchased. We returned to Christine's (WITH THE RECEIPT) hoping for a refund. However, the receipt says" exchange only within 7 days". I spoke with SAM who said he could offer an exchange or store credit. I asked for a manager but was told that he was the only employee on duty (along with a part-time helper). They even had to pull him from another location due to low staffing. I explained how the product was obviously faulty since the paint was chipping without even rubbing/washing on the outside of the shot glass. I just wanted a refund. He said I could keep the product and bring it back the next time I visited Lake Geneva to exchange it for something else in the store to replace my product. WHAT? ...the next time I'm in Lake Geneva? That will be in about 6-12 months. Ok. I'll hold onto your fault product with chipping lead paint for that long, just to bring it back to you to buy "hopefully a better-quality item".......(eye roll). I was disappointed that Sam couldn't offer a refund of the faulty items. Since I can't find a website for this location, I'm posting a YELP review, hoping for a manager to reach out to offer a refund. So disappointed!! (BTW: Same was polite, but not willing to budge). read more

Christine's - paint chipping off the shot glasses - Jewelry Near Me - Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

This store is selling fake and counterfeit items. I purchased a Labubu doll and asked if it's real, they said they purchased it from PopMart and the answer is yes. Okay I bought it and upon opening it's indeed was total fake! It had 20 teeth instead of 9, stamp was wrong, no QR code like it supposed to! Disappointed because they lied to me. Won't go there ever again. Don't buy theirs stuff because most of it made in China and purchased for pennies! read more

Christine's is well worth the visit!! Both of the owners have been very much helpful and considerate! Even if they don't have it they will recommend were to look!! They definitely have a place to stop in and look!! read more

Well I probably would've purchased something here but the entrance is jampacked with patrons trying to get in and a small section in front that is closed off from going into the actual store. There's also a sign that says no pictures so there's that. Very touristy and popular with what appears to be good prices and products for fun items like reasonable T-shirts and Lake decorations and such. read more

My wife and I were there Saturday and she bought 2 pairs of sterling silver earrings. When we got home the next day. She only had 1 pair in the box and no receipt. The store is super packed with merchandise that you can barely walk or look at anything. We have been coming to the area for almost 25 years and This store supposedly was going out of business for a number of years. I asked the clerk and she said that never happened and the same owner has had it since 1998. Buyer beware read more

I've been going to Christine's for years. There is a great variety of different jewelry, apparel, art, and trinkets/small gifts. The owners are extremely nice - I am actually surprised at the few reviews that say otherwise. Much of the jewelry that they sell is sterling silver; earrings, pendants, and rings. Most of the jewelry is women's, however, they still have a large selection of men's jewelry as well. If you're looking for a piece of jewelry for a reasonable price, Christine's is one of the better places in the LG area to look. Regarding apparel, much of the inventory is "Lake Geneva"-branded; perfect for tourists who want a keepsake. They have t-shirts, hoodies, and tank tops all reasonably priced. I bought many tank tops for using at the local beach, and have many after years of wear. Note, however, that they do shrink about a half size after washing. As far as trinkets go, they have many little "comical" items including fake driver's licenses, political gifts, and funny signs. One of the reviewers made a good point that I would like to echo; clearing the areas between some of the aisles near the back of the store where the art is would make it a bit more accessible. It's nothing that is a cause for concern, but much of the inventory that is on the floor should be adjusted. I recommend Christine's. Be sure to visit the store if you are in LG! read more

Christine's is one of my favorite souvenir shops in Lake Geneva, with inexpensive t-shirts and very reasonable sweatshirts and hoodies. They have nice art, jewelry, and Knick knacks as well. A must stop whenever we're in town. Only subtracted one star because the large space is full of stuff! Very cramped and crowded, making it hard to get to stuff. And if you're claustrophobic, forget it! Other than that, I really like it. read more

I was in their with my family and I went to show my brother a pair of sunglasses when it slipped and knocked a few down. I cleaned it up so the owner wouldn't have to deal with it but the owner came over and cussed my brother and I out. I apologizer for knocking it over but what the owner did was un-called for. My family talked to him about the incident and the owner said that I never apologized and threatened to use the security cameras against me for dumping his sunglasses. It was clearly a accident but the owner was just cussing out my family. Awful service for their customers. read more

Very poor experience here. Three young teens were told the store was closing and that they should leave when in fact it was not closing and other people were allowed to go in after the 3 teens left. Called almost an hour later and they were still open. Hmmm... ??? read more

Went here today. There was only one woman working. The other salesperson never showed up and the manager was the only one in the store. It was busy and she was SO nice and helpful. She was trying to give each customer individualized attention and she has beautiful jewelry at great prices, 50% off. I bought a gorgeous opal pendant that I just love. So sad I didn't get the ring that matches it. Next time. The whole store is 50%-70% off. I will definitely return soon. read more

Great selection of souvenirs and unusual decor for the home. A large amount of T-shirts, casual clothing and jewelry items as well. Owner is very helpful and attentive to the patrons. read more

First time to Lake Geneva. Love this store. I bought a Mickey Minnie Poster and frame. They framed it for me. Very reasonable price. Loved the Trump Items. Why anyone would give a bad review about having these items is crazy. They also had Obama items. Didnt make me not want to go back. Cant wait to visit this store again. read more

Good Selection and smells wonderful in the store and Great people

This place ended up being my favorite store in all of downtown Lake Geneva (a hidden gem!). It literally has A LOT of stuff and who can complain with that? I really wanted handmade paintings, but also didn't want to hurt my bank account and this store has a HUGE collection of paintings starting from $20+. They aren't "cheap" looking paintings either - I found a really nice of of the beach. A GREAT DEAL in my opinion. If paintings aren't what you are looking for, you can find a lot more items that you will end up buying like t-shirts, bags, signs, jewelry, etc. I didn't plan on buying any other things, but I ended up also buying two miniature sculptures of The Minions made from old car parts. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. If I'm ever back around this area, I'm definitely going back. read more

I loved visiting Christine's on my trip to lake Geneva. There are so many fun and unique things to choose from in the shop, there is something for everyone! I appreciate the friendly staff and low prices and will definitely be visiting Christine's again. read more

Love this place!!! Full of great little Knick knacks and cute clothes for GREAT prices as well as super friendly staff!

Love this store. We visit every time we visit Lake Geneva. Prices are Awesome and they are always helpful!!! Love the Trump Merchandise!!! read more

They have so many different things here. Perhaps things you don't need but you want to have. Some of the things are somewhat pricey. I bought a butterfly knick knack thingy. It was originally $40 (no way). It was marked half price at $20. Definitely more reasonable. They have jewelry, clothes, T shirts, wooden signs. Also cheaper things that kids might want to get. In the back they have the "oil" paintings on a frame at reasonable price. Many to choose from. read more

Such a fun shop with so many different things. It can be a little overwhelming, but I got so many cute things!

Awesome store! Every time my wife and I are in Lake Geneva we always stop here. The managers have stayed the same, and although we are not Trump fans, we still like the Trump merchandise!!! read more

This is one of my all time favorite souvenir shops to go to when i come to Lake Geneva. All the workers are very kind and helpful and I am always happy what i walk out with! They have a lot of fun and cool items i definitely recommend checking them out, you won't regret it ! read more

The largest out of all the shops we visited, Chrisitne's not only has the typical t-shirt stuff, but figurines, signs and objects d'art (yeah, I said it!). Some of it is folksy, some more modern, but the strangest/funniest thing that they sell are these stuffed kittens! Lifelike, sitting up stuffed kittens, like if you wanted to mess with someone leave it on the steps stuffed kitten. Super creepy, I was thisclose to getting one:-) read more

Have been to Christine's many times I live in Lake Geneva and the people in the store have always been very nice to me. They have been here for a long time. I think the have a little something for everyone in their store. I totally disagree with all the negative reviews. Give Christine's a try. read more

Absolutely will NOT ever shop there again. Beyond rude, the man working the counter was awful. They advertise 50-70 percent entire store, yet the pricing in the store is the same as always. I do NOT recommend this store or it's owner or staff at all! read more

Good cheap shirts, hoodies, and sweaters that rep the lake Geneva brand. A bunch of other trinkets for Sale too. Great prices

One of the ladies was very rude. This store doesn't deserve my money. And when you talk to her she is very short with you.

I bought a few oil paintings at Christine's last weekend paid $300 cash, the paintings are un-framed. I changed my mind after 30 minutes, brought them back to the store with the receipt for a full refund and they refused to refund my purchase. I will not shop there again, they suck. The paintings are on eBay. read more
