A quarterly mystery box filled with colourful, whimsical artwork, handmade surprises and a little bit of Nearaway magic.
Every season, a brand-new Mystery Box will arrive, featuring a selection of exclusive seasonal artwork alongside a unique handmade mystery item created in my studio.
No two handmade mystery items will be exactly the same, so every box contains a little surprise of its own!
✨ What's Inside?
Each Nearaway Seasonal Mystery Box contains:
🎨 1 Handmade Mystery Item
One unique, hand-created mystery item made by me.
This could be:
- A hand-sculpted clay creation
- An original ACEO piece of artwork
- A hand-painted wooden item
- A miniature canvas
- Or another one-of-a-kind creation from my studio
The handmade item will be different from season to season, so you never quite know what you'll receive!
🍂 4 Brand-New Seasonal Collection Items
Every Mystery Box includes three brand-new items from that season's Nearaway collection:
- 3 vinyl stickers
- 1 x 5×7 art print
- 1 sticker sheet
- 1 Washi Tape
These items will be revealed as part of each seasonal collection and will be brand new for that season.
🎲 5 Mystery Vinyl Stickers
You'll also receive 5 mystery vinyl stickers chosen at random from my shop.
These could be characters, creatures, food, plants or other little pieces of the Nearaway world — so there's always a chance of discovering some old favourites!
🌟 Founding Members — Autumn 2026 Only
To celebrate the very first Nearaway Seasonal Mystery Box, I'm opening 15 special Founding Member spaces for Autumn 2026.
The first 15 subscribers will receive an exclusive original ACEO card, created especially for the launch.
This is an extra bonus alongside everything already included in the Mystery Box — so Founding Members will receive their handmade mystery item plus their exclusive original ACEO card.
There are only 15 Founding Member spaces available, and once they're gone, they're gone!
📦 One-Off Box or Quarterly Subscription?
There are two ways to enjoy the Nearaway Seasonal Mystery Box:
✨ One-Off Purchase
You can purchase the current seasonal Mystery Box as a one-off, while boxes are available.
✨ Quarterly Subscription
Subscribe once and your Mystery Box will automatically renew every three months.
The seasonal subscription schedule is:
🍂 Autumn — 1 October
❄️ Winter — 1 January
🌱 Spring — 1 April
☀️ Summer — 1 July
Your subscription will automatically renew on these dates, so you don't need to remember to place another order each season.
You can manage or cancel your subscription through your customer account. If you cancel after a payment has already been taken, you'll still receive the box you've already paid for — your cancellation will simply stop future renewals.

💌 Add to Your Box
Want to add a few extra goodies from the shop to your Mystery Box?
During the 1st–9th of each season, eligible Mystery Box customers will be able to use the Add to Your Box option to purchase additional shop items with a reduced shipping cost.
This means you can pick up extra stickers, prints, stationery and other Nearaway goodies without paying the full cost of shipping them separately.
The Add to Your Box shipping offer is available to customers with an eligible Mystery Box order or active subscription. Please don't share the shipping code, as orders without an eligible Mystery Box may be cancelled or have the appropriate postage applied.
📮 Postage
Postage is not included in the Mystery Box price and will be calculated separately at checkout based on your delivery location.
✨ A New Nearaway Adventure Every Season
Every Mystery Box will bring something a little different from the world of Nearaway — new characters, new artwork, new handmade creations and plenty of surprises.
Whether you join for one box or come along for every season, I hope each one feels like receiving a little parcel of magic through the post. 💜🍄✨
