Eden Gifts

With a background in construction and design, Alissa and Patrick Bernreiter wanted more when it came to handover gifts, refusing to believe that ‘one gift fits all’.

The pair recently opened ‘Eden Gifts’ along Brighton Road, stocking everything from trendy candles, to wine coolers and salts and have found its been the missing link in the seaside community.

“We’ve finished around 10 houses and we have not had very memorable handover gifts,” Mrs Bernreiter said.

“It was a very high cellophane, over packaged gifts and we just thought ‘we can change this’.”

Mrs Bernreiter began working with a number of Australian owned companies to spice up the sometimes dreaded gift giving routine and turn it into a fun experience for all involved.

“We originally started online but in no time we just realised we needed a bigger space,” she said.

“Now people can come in and really visualise the products match this and that, and really create something beautiful for that person.

“We also do a ‘getting to know you’ HR card which helps co-workers get to know other members in their team which then allows them to but more specific items.

“Gift giving doesn’t have to be boring.”

The Eden Gift team also pride themselves on using all sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging to prevent anymore unnecessary packing.

“All our tissue paper is compostable, our filler can go in the garden, our boxes are all made here and they can all be recycled.”
