ABOUT US

Welcome to The World’s First Foodie Gift Shop – where food meets fun in the most imaginative ways. We’re creators of whimsical food-themed art and curators of deliciously inspired gifts that look good enough to eat.

From boutique edibles and wearable cravings to homewares, candles, stationery, and soaps – everything we offer is a celebration of food, in all its joyful forms.

Proudly based in Brisbane, our mission is to serve up handcrafted artistry, clever design, and unforgettable gifting experiences. Whether you're treating yourself or shopping for a fellow foodie, we’ve got the goods to delight.

The Food Impostor began during the 2020 lockdown, when founder May Smith — grounded after 14 years in aviation — began sculpting playful food miniatures from polymer clay. What started as a creative outlet quickly grew into a thriving brand. Today, we’re still proudly hand-making our signature food-themed art while also curating a growing range of unique foodie merchandise from like-minded makers and brands.

Since 2022, we’ve proudly supported OzHarvest, contributing over 10,000 meals to Australians in need — and counting. Every purchase helps us spread joy through creativity, community, and meaningful giving.

Customer photo review of 'Honey' fake tiny teddy earring set

Great quality and detail. The earrings aren’t too heavy so you can comfortably wear them all day plus they’re adorable.

Customer photo review of Fairy Bread Studs

I absolutely LOVE these earrings! Super light to wear and so so adorable, they look just like miniature fairy bread slices! The simple back is easy to use (I changed mine for a universal ball back) and hasn't tarnished with my skin. Highly recommend! Was a hit at Christmas too 😁

I bought three pairs of earrings and they are all scrumptious! My favourites are the jam drops - I always get compliments when wearing them, and they go with so many diverse outfits.
