cintinative Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I had never seen this before, but my SIL received a paint by number by Paintly of her father. At first she thought there was no way she could do it, but now she says it has been therapeutic for her. Clearly not everyone would like this, but I thought I'd share because I never would have thought of this. 7 2 Quote
Kassia Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I'm glad she liked it. I don't think I could do ever enjoy a gift like that but I would appreciate the thought. 1 Quote
Drama Llama Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I didn’t know they did this! I wouldn’t want this but I think one of my kids would love this! Thank you! 3 Quote

It's a really interesting thought though and I'm wondering if my MIL would like something like that (she was widowed almost two years ago). 3 Quote
Shoeless Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 This seems like a nice idea for people that have lost beloved pets. I'm not sure how I'd feel about a picture of a person, but I have a picture of my cats that I would love to turn into a paint by number. Thanks for posting about this! 3 Quote

history-fan Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 It could also be used if you moved, having a picture of your old house. Our real estate agent gifted us an ink drawing of our house after we sold it. 2 Quote

MercyA Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 I think it's an interesting idea and I'm so glad it ended up being therapeutic for your SIL, but it does seem like something people should buy for themselves. It would be painful for me to do one of a pet or other family member and I can't be sure how I'd react to receiving one as a gift. Quote
