There are few words that can express the love and gratitude we have for all of you amazing Zwinksters; we've truly enjoyed sharing our world with you over the past decade. Thank you for being such a creative, caring, dedicated, loyal community. We wish all of you nothing but the very best. ZWINK ON! <3

Stay safe, high five and xoxo,

Spinoffs
There was a spinoff of Zwinky named Zwinky Cuties, which is a kid version of Zwinky, for ages 13 and under.

Their closure message reads:

"Dear Zwinky Cutie,

Thank you so much for hanging out with us on ZwinkyCuties.com. We've had so much fun Jetsetting around the world with you, making friends, creating great outfits, and playing with adorable pets.

We are sad to say that Zwinky Cuties is now closed. If you are a Jetsetter subscriber, we have deactivated your payment plan and you will no longer be charged for membership. If you have any questions about your account, please write to us at customersupport@help.zwinkycuties.com.

Again, we thank you for being part of the amazing Zwinky Cuties community. When you turn 13, we hope you consider joining us for more fashion and friends at Zwinky.com!

Love, The Zwinky Cuties Team"
