Our Story

Who Are We?

 Eggplant & Poppy is a bold little gift and home décor haven based in Cairns, Far North Queensland.

We specialise in the delightfully unexpected — a curated mix of quirky gifts, statement homewares, cheeky finds, self-care goodies, handmade creations, and beautifully unboring things you didn’t know you needed… until now.

If it makes you laugh, gasp, text your friend immediately, or say “OMG where did you find this?” — there’s a good chance it lives here.

How Did This All Start?

Like many great ideas, Eggplant & Poppy began with big conversations, creative brains colliding, and a slightly chaotic “what if we actually did this?” moment.

Established in 2014, E&P grew from a shared love of creativity, connection, beautiful things, and not taking life too seriously.

Our retail store officially opened in 2015 and has since grown into a much-loved destination for gifting, home styling, celebrations, and the occasional emotional-support purchase.

What Makes E&P Different?

At Eggplant & Poppy, we believe gifting should feel personal, fun, and a little unexpected.

Many of our handmade pieces are created right here in our in-store studio, while the rest of our collections are thoughtfully sourced from Australia and around the world to bring together a constantly evolving mix of fresh, feel-good finds.

No boring beige.
No cookie-cutter gifting.
No dusty shelves.

Just personality-packed pieces designed to make people smile.

From cheeky cards and statement earrings to cosy homewares and gifts that say exactly what you’re thinking — we’re all about helping people celebrate life, friendship, humour, love, chaos, milestones, and everything in between.

More Than Just A Gift Store

Over the years, Eggplant & Poppy has grown into more than a shop — it’s become a community.

A place for laughter, last-minute gift saves, retail therapy, celebrations, connection, and finding things you absolutely didn’t come in for… but somehow can’t leave without.

Whether you’re shopping for someone else or treating yourself (fully encouraged), welcome to Eggplant & Poppy.We’re so glad you found us.
