Black Friday falls on 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on 30 November. The offers for this store are already set up and scheduled, so there is no reason to keep it a mystery until the day. From the Friday morning through the end of Monday, two things change at the checkout, both automatic, neither needing a code. This post explains them, says what they do not cover, and gives the dates past which a kit will not arrive for Christmas.
What the store does all year
To understand what Black Friday adds, it helps to know what is already there. Every day of the year, two kits in the cart get 15% off, and three kits in the cart from the main collections make the cheapest one free. These apply automatically and the checkout takes whichever saves you more. Most people buying for a family already use them.
What changes on 27 November
First, a single stock kit gets 15% off. For the rest of the year the discount needs two kits; for these four days one kit is enough. If you have been looking at one picture for yourself, this is the weekend to buy it.
Second, every stock kit becomes buy one, get one free. Put two kits in the cart and the cheaper one drops to zero; four kits means two free. This covers the whole catalogue of more than six hundred stock kits, in any size and with any color count, not only the adult kits collection.
The custom kit from your photo and the custom pet portrait stay out of both Black Friday offers: each one is painted up from a single photo, so its price has no room for a discount. Tools and the gift card are not discounted either.
How it applies
Automatically, in the cart, with no code and no banner to click. The offers do not stack with each other or with discount codes; the checkout applies the single best one and ignores the rest. Two stock kits will always do better under buy one, get one than under 15% off, so for two kits or more that is what you will see.
What is in the Black Friday collection
The Black Friday collection is twenty kits picked as a shortlist, not a separate sale. The offer is the same whether you choose from it or from the rest of the store. It is there so that someone buying for three people has somewhere to start: the Christmas set with Hot Cocoa by the Snowy Window, Christmas Gnomes in the Snow, Golden Retriever by the Christmas Tree, Red Barn with a Lit Christmas Tree and Nutcracker by the Christmas Tree, plus a space scene, The Vast Space, and the two custom kits for people who want a photo turned into a canvas.
Shipping
Shipping is free to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the European Union, with no minimum. Elsewhere it is free above 69 dollars and 7.95 dollars below, and a two-kit order clears that line. The offers change none of this.
Will it arrive by Christmas?
Orders leave within one to three business days and travel by tracked post, seven to fifteen business days to the United States, Europe and Asia. Over August and September 2026 the median parcel to the United States took twelve days from order, nine in ten arrived inside sixteen, and the slowest took twenty-one. So:
- Ordered on Black Friday weekend, 27 November to 1 December: arrives in the second week of December in nearly every case.
- United States and Canada: order by 4 December for Christmas.
- United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, New Zealand: order by 1 December.
- Everywhere else: order by 27 November, which is Black Friday itself.
- After those dates: the gift card is delivered by e-mail the same day and the recipient picks the kit.
Custom kits from a photo need extra days for the artwork, so their dates are earlier. They are in the custom kit Christmas order dates.
What to put in the cart
For yourself, the picture you have been looking at. For gifts to people whose taste you do not know, the Christmas pictures are the safe pick in November, because they get painted in December and hung the same month. For a gift that will be painted after the holidays, florals and animals have the broadest appeal; the 2026 holiday gift guide goes through them. One practical note: the free kit is the cheaper of each pair, so two kits in the same size get the most out of the offer. The 16x20 inch size with 36 colors is the recommended version of every kit.
Questions about the offer
Do I need a code?
No. The discount shows in the cart between 27 November and 1 December.
Can I use a discount code as well?
No. Codes do not combine with the automatic offers. The checkout applies the better one.
Can the free kit be a custom kit?
No. Custom kits are not part of either Black Friday offer, on either side of buy one, get one, and they do not get the 15% off.
What if I miss it?
The everyday offers come back on 2 December: 15% off two kits, or three from the main collections with the cheapest free.
