Gifts That Are Fun, Fabulous & Unapologetically You
Gift shopping can sometimes feel like a chore—but not at Eggplant + Poppy, Cairns’
favourite quirky gift shop! We believe in keeping things fun, cheeky, and just a little bit naughty. Sure, we’ve got stunning homewares, statement jewellery, and unique travel accessories, but we also stock the kind of gifts that make you laugh out loud in the middle of the store (and maybe even question if you should send that greeting card to your mother-in-law).
Whether you’re looking for a sassy tea towel, a hilarious coffee mug, or a slightly
inappropriate candle, Eggplant + Poppy is the place to shop in Cairns for gifts that bring
smiles, snickers, and maybe even a blush or two!
Sassy, Saucy & Slightly Inappropriate
Ever wished your tea towels could express your true personality? Ours do—with messages ranging from mild sarcasm to full-blown sass. They're the kind of kitchen accessories that make guests laugh, raise eyebrows, and immediately ask, "Where did you get that?"
Cards for Every Occasion (Even the Awkward Ones). Forget boring cards with predictable messages. Our greeting cards say what everyone’s really thinking. Whether you need a bold birthday wish, a brutally honest Mother’s Day card, or something that pushes the envelope (just enough), we’ve got you covered. From cheeky birthday wishes to brutally honest breakup sympathy, we’ve got the perfect card for friends, lovers, family—and frenemies. Make someone giggle, gasp, or cry-laugh, you’re sure to find the right words at Eggplant + Poppy.
Mugs with a Mug Full of Personality. Let’s face it—coffee tastes better when it’s served in a mug that makes you laugh. At Eggplant + Poppy, our mug collection ranges from cheeky to downright outrageous. Think bold quotes, retro flair, and graphics that say exactly what you’re thinking (but probably shouldn’t say out loud in a meeting). Whether you’re buying for a caffeine queen, a grumpy morning person, or your work bestie who lives for sarcasm, we’ve got a mug that speaks fluent sass (though probably NSFW)...
Candles That Smell Good and Misbehave... you could buy a candle that smells like vanilla—or you could get one that smells amazing and says something wildly inappropriate on the label. They're the perfect blend of cozy and comical—and guaranteed to be a talking point.
Books That’ll Make You Laugh, Cry, or Question Everything! Not all books are meant to be serious. In fact, some of ours are downright ridiculous—in the best possible way. From adult colouring books with titles that’d make your grandma blush, to coffee table reads full of hilarious life advice, our book selection is the perfect mix of silly, sarcastic, and surprisingly insightful. Whether you’re shopping for a book lover with a wicked sense of humour or just want something fun to flip through on the loo, we’ve got page-turners that bring the laughs.
Seasonal Sass: Some holidays were made for maximum gift-giving chaos, and we’re so here for it. Mother’s Day? We’ve got cards that celebrate mums who swear like sailors and gifts for the kind of mum who’d rather have gin than a spa day.
Father’s Day? Whether he’s a dad-joke king, a BBQ boss, or just impossible to buy for, we’ve got gifts that are funny, functional, and maybe a little bit rude—just like him.
And Christmas? Let’s just say our festive stock is a little bit naughty and a whole lot of nice. From hilariously inappropriate ornaments to Secret Santa's that’ll have the in-laws raising eyebrows, Eggplant + Poppy makes silly season shopping actually fun.
