Whether you are stocking up on projects for cozy winter evenings, finding the perfect personalized gift, or finally trying that custom paint by numbers kit you have been considering, this guide explains everything you need to know about our annual Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, plus year-round savings opportunities.
When Does Our Black Friday Sale Run?
Our annual Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale typically runs from late November through the first week of December. The sale traditionally begins the week before American Thanksgiving and continues through Cyber Monday, often extending several days into early December.
This timing aligns with the broader Canadian retail calendar while giving customers extra time to complete their holiday shopping. Our sale period typically includes Black Friday itself, the weekend following Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

Current Black Friday Deals
🎄 Check Our Current Black Friday Offers 🎄
Visit our homepage during November and December to see our current Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Our annual offers typically include percentage discounts and bundle savings.
View Current SaleOur Black Friday sales typically feature two distinct deal structures designed to serve different shopping needs.
Percentage Discount Offers
The simplest discount structure applies a percentage reduction to your entire order. This format works particularly well for shoppers buying one or two specific kits as gifts or for personal use. Percentage discounts during our Black Friday sale typically range from 25 to 35 percent off regular pricing across our entire product catalog.
The advantage of percentage discounts lies in their simplicity. You browse normally, add items to your cart, and the discount applies automatically at checkout when you enter the promotional code. This approach lets you focus on choosing the right kits rather than calculating bundle math.
Bundle Savings (Buy 2 Get 1 Free)
Our bundle deals reward customers stocking up on multiple kits, typically for holiday gift-giving. The classic Buy 2 Get 1 Free structure effectively delivers a 33 percent discount when you purchase three kits.
This deal structure works exceptionally well when shopping for multiple gift recipients. A family with three creative friends, a workplace gift exchange, or a household where multiple members enjoy paint by numbers all benefit dramatically from bundle pricing.
Year-Round Discount Codes for Smaller Orders
Beyond our seasonal Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, we offer year-round discount codes specifically designed for shoppers purchasing one or two kits at a time. These evergreen codes provide consistent savings regardless of when you shop.

Important: WELCOME codes cannot be combined with the Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer. The system automatically applies whichever deal saves you more money.
When to Use WELCOME Codes vs Bundle Deals
Choosing between our WELCOME discount codes and the Buy 2 Get 1 Free bundle depends on your shopping needs.
Use WELCOME15 or WELCOME10 when: You are buying one or two kits, purchasing accessories, or trying paint by numbers for the first time. These codes apply across our entire catalog including custom paint by numbers kits.
Use the Buy 2 Get 1 Free bundle when: You are purchasing three or more kits, shopping for multiple gift recipients, or stocking up on projects for the year. The bundle delivers a 33 percent effective discount, which exceeds both WELCOME codes for qualifying orders.
Our checkout system automatically calculates which deal saves you more money based on your cart contents. You do not need to manually compare options.
What to Look for in Black Friday Paint by Numbers Deals
Smart Black Friday shopping requires more than just chasing the largest percentage off. Several factors determine whether a deal represents genuine value or a missed opportunity.
Quality Versus Price Considerations
Marketplace listings on Amazon and similar platforms often feature dramatically discounted paint by numbers kits during Black Friday. These price reductions tempt shoppers away from specialty retailers, but the savings frequently come at a quality cost.
Cheap kits typically use thin, low-quality canvas that warps during painting, watery acrylics that require multiple coats for coverage, and overly complex designs with sections too small for comfortable painting. The frustration of working with inferior materials often exceeds any monetary savings. For a detailed breakdown, read our premium versus cheap kits comparison.
Free Shipping Thresholds
Free shipping significantly impacts the true cost of your order, especially for Canadian customers where shipping fees can add CA$15 to CA$25 to smaller orders. Our standard free shipping threshold of CA$75 often makes purchasing two or more kits more economical than buying a single kit.
When comparing Black Friday deals across retailers, calculate the total cost including shipping rather than focusing solely on the per-kit price. A higher-priced kit with free shipping frequently delivers better value than a discounted kit with expensive shipping.
Custom Kit Considerations
Our Black Friday deals typically include custom paint by numbers kits, which represents an unusual opportunity. Most retailers exclude personalized products from major sales because each unit requires individual production work.
The Black Friday window represents the optimal time to commission custom kits as Christmas gifts. Order during the sale period to lock in discounted pricing while leaving sufficient time for design review, production, and shipping before December 25th.
Strategic Shopping for Maximum Savings
Start with a Gift List
Effective Black Friday shopping starts before the sale begins. Create a list of intended recipients with their preferences noted: who appreciates landscapes, who prefers animals, who would treasure a custom portrait of their pet.
This preparation prevents impulse purchases that seem like deals but do not match actual gifting needs. The largest discount delivers no value if the recipient never opens the kit.
Compare Bundle Math Carefully
Before committing to a deal, calculate which structure delivers more value for your specific needs. The percentage discount might save more on a single high-priced custom kit, while the bundle deal saves more across multiple standard kits.
Run the numbers for your specific cart before checkout. Most years, our system automatically applies the better deal, but understanding the math helps you optimize your cart composition for maximum savings.
Consider Year-Round Painting Plans
Black Friday represents an opportunity to stock up on kits for personal use throughout the upcoming year. Painters who complete one kit per month benefit from purchasing 8 to 12 kits during the sale, locking in savings that would not exist at full price.
Stored unopened kits maintain quality indefinitely. The acrylic paints, sealed canvas, and brushes remain in optimal condition for years when stored in normal household conditions away from direct sunlight and temperature extremes.
Black Friday Gift Ideas by Recipient
For the Stressed Professional
Paint by numbers serves as proven stress relief therapy. Choose calming designs from our scenery and landscape collection for recipients who spend long hours at demanding jobs. Mountain vistas, forest scenes, and lakeside settings provide visual escape from office environments.
For the Creative Teen
Modern teens appreciate designs that feel current rather than traditional. Our abstract collection features contemporary geometric patterns, vibrant color compositions, and Picasso-inspired designs that resonate with younger artists.
For the Pet Lover
Custom pet portraits make exceptional gifts when you can secure a quality photo of the recipient's animal companion. Order during Black Friday to lock in pricing while ensuring delivery before holidays. Read our guide to pet photography for tips on getting the best results.
For the New Painter
First-time paint by numbers customers benefit from beginner-friendly designs with fewer colors and simpler compositions. Our beginner's guide explains how to choose appropriate kits for someone just starting their creative journey.
Avoiding Black Friday Shopping Mistakes
Do Not Buy on Discount Alone
The largest percentage off does not always represent the best deal. A poorly-made kit at 70 percent off delivers worse value than a quality kit at 30 percent off because the painting experience matters more than the purchase price.
Verify Sizing Before Purchase
Paint by numbers kits come in various canvas sizes, from small 12x16 inch versions to large 24x30 inch statement pieces. Black Friday excitement sometimes leads to purchasing inappropriately-sized kits. A massive canvas overwhelms small apartments while tiny kits disappoint recipients expecting substantial artwork.
Confirm Shipping Times for Christmas Delivery
Custom paint by numbers kits require additional production time beyond standard shipping. Order custom kits early in the Black Friday window to ensure pre-Christmas delivery. Standard kits ship faster but still benefit from early ordering to avoid potential holiday shipping delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Black Friday sale start each year?
Our annual Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale typically begins the week before American Thanksgiving (mid-to-late November) and runs through the first week of December. Email subscribers receive early access 24 to 48 hours before the public sale launches.
Are custom paint by numbers kits included in Black Friday discounts?
Yes, our Black Friday sale typically includes custom paint by numbers kits. This represents an unusual opportunity since most retailers exclude personalized products from major sales. Order custom kits early in the sale period to allow sufficient time for design review and production before holiday gifting deadlines.
Can I combine WELCOME codes with the Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer?
No, WELCOME15 and WELCOME10 codes cannot be combined with the Buy 2 Get 1 Free bundle deal. Our system automatically applies whichever offer saves you more money based on your cart contents. For single-kit purchases, WELCOME codes typically deliver the best value. For three or more kits, the bundle deal usually wins.
Do WELCOME codes work during Black Friday sales?
WELCOME codes remain functional year-round, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, our seasonal promotional codes typically deliver larger discounts (25-35% off versus the standard 10-15%). During the Black Friday window, use the seasonal codes for maximum savings. Outside the sale period, WELCOME15 and WELCOME10 provide reliable everyday discounts.
What if my Black Friday order does not arrive before Christmas?
Order early to avoid this concern. Standard kits typically ship within our normal processing time of 2-3 days, then take 5-8 days for delivery to most Canadian addresses. Custom kits require additional production time. Place orders by early December at the latest for reliable pre-Christmas delivery.
Do you offer Black Friday deals on accessories?
Our Black Friday discounts typically apply to our entire product catalog including accessories like easels, brush sets, and framing supplies. The same percentage discount or bundle deal applies whether you are purchasing kits, accessories, or a combination of both.
Is the Black Friday sale better than Boxing Day or other sales?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday consistently offer our deepest annual discounts. While we run other promotional events throughout the year, the Black Friday window typically delivers the largest savings opportunities, especially on bundle deals and custom kits.
