The magic of paint-by-numbers is the ending: an actual painting, made by your recipient, hanging where guests will ask about it. Between here and there are weeks of made-for-winding-down evenings — one numbered region at a time, podcast on, kettle nearby.
The verdict
Give this to the self-declared non-artist and let the canvas argue otherwise. It fills quiet evenings, costs little, and ends as decor with a story — a lot of gift for the money.
