A Big Break Wrapped in Kindness: Fox Under The Moon's New Chapter Debuts at Home & Gift
)
This summer, at the 65th Anniversary of the Home & Gift Buyer’s Festival 20–23 July 2025 in beautiful Harrogate, visitors will have the chance to witness such a moment firsthand as Fox Under The Moon unveils its most heartfelt chapter yet.
We’re delighted to announce that Fox Under The Moon, the much-loved brand known for its gentle illustrations and soul-soothing words, is exclusively exhibiting at Home & Gift. And just days before the show opens its doors, founder Stacey McNeill will be making headlines of her own.
On Thursday 15 May 2025, Stacey officially reveals that she has signed a landmark publishing deal with Quercus (part of Hachette UK) for a beautifully produced, full-colour hardback gift book: Fox Under The Moon: Seasons of Comfort and Hope.
Slated for release on 23 October 2025, this book is more than a publishing debut. It’s a moment of arrival. A culmination of quiet persistence, creativity and kindness, qualities that Fox Under The Moon fans have cherished for years.
As Stacey puts it:
Rooted in themes of emotional wellbeing, self-love, resilience and seasonal change, the book promises a tender companion for adult readers navigating life’s messier corners. It’s already been endorsed by Sunday Times bestselling poet Donna Ashworth as “wise and warm, like a hug from the universe” — a perfect encapsulation of Stacey’s timeless, healing style.
Retailer pre-orders are expected to be available by the time Home & Gift begins, offering buyers a first-look opportunity to support what’s set to be one of the most uplifting releases of Autumn 2025. Public pre-orders also open on 15 May 2025, marking the start of a highly anticipated countdown.
With a US publishing deal in the works via Weldon Owen and a growing community of over 285,000 readers worldwide, this step feels like more than just a new product. It’s a meaningful expansion of a brand built on connection, calm and kindness.
As Stacey reflects:
At Home & Gift this July, we invite you to be part of that moment. To discover the story behind the story. To meet the maker, share the journey and explore a collection that radiates everything our industry needs more of — empathy, hope and a little bit of everyday magic.
