It’s the blingiest time of the year, and for Bibelo gift shop in Oakleigh, ‘tis the season to outshine all others.
“We love our bling and shine,” said co-owner Irene Karazisis.
“And Christmas gives us the opportunity to have a bit more than usual.”
The store is what Ms Karazisis describes as a “classic” gift shop. It stocks a delightful array of desirables from exquisite earrings to luxurious knitwear.
“We are known for our sterling silver jewellery,” Ms Karazisis said.
“But we sell handbags, scarves, gloves – the classic accessories – as as well as homewares. We also sell clothes. There is something for everyone.”
Bibelo is a bit of an institution in Oakleigh, having been located in Eaton Mall for the past ten years.
But owners Ms Karazisis and her sister-in-law Maria Raptis have never allowed the business to go stale, always adding fresh new products while maintaining the character of the much-loved store.

With festive shoppers already out spending, Ms Karazisis said their jewellery is proving to be popular Christmas must-buys.
The latest pieces by Liberte are in store now, along with Sue Sensi Design, whose Byzantine earrings were worn by Shayna Blaze on The Block.
And, of course, the shop is filled with the beautiful things we love to adorn our homes with at Christmas.
“We have wreaths, scented candles, decorated tree balls, tree decorations including beautiful poinsettia, sprigs and flower pieces,” Ms Karazisis said.
So what are you waiting for? Deck the halls and pick up that pretty, individual present while you are there.
Adding to the joyful experience, Bibelo gift-wraps too.
