Have you ever wanted to have a painting of your partner, a family portrait, your dog or whatever your favorite photo is? I always loved the idea of painting but unfortunately I'm not the best at it. A few months ago though a friend and I came up with a cool idea, what if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers. That way anyone can paint, anything they want.
We looked up custom paint by numbers and found a few Etsy stores selling them but they were way overpriced and most of them didn't even come with the canvas on a frame. So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers, eventually we managed to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed (you can still order them without a frame but we found most people want them ready to go out of the box).
Long story short though we're trying to grow and get more people talking about us. So we decided it would be a good idea to reach out to some local subreddits and hopefully you'll enjoy them enough to share your experience :)
You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done.

Hey guys! I’m an amateur boudoir photographer and I’m trying to find models in the Suffolk area, happy to travel to them. Any age and gender are fine, thank you in advance!

A young 28 year old local woman who lost her life in Kenya in 1988?
My wife and I are going to London in June and I'm looking for a driver to take us around for about 8 hours or less one day.
I want to visit some areas when I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in the 80's.
Mildenhall, Thetford, Red Lodge, Bury St. Edmunds are the areas to drive to and around. The idea would be to take a train up to Thetford or Mildenhall and then meet a driver to take us around. No need for a driver from London.
I realize this might not be the best subreddit. Any guidance is appreciated.
Anyone in the Sudbury/Bury/Ipswich area who’s around 20+ wanna come and skate with me? I’m 20 years old and I’m a father and really want to get out every now and then. I’m just getting back into skateboarding and really want to find some friends to do so? :)
Visiting the area for a week bit and looking for places to eat & drink, activities to do and where to buy local produce from farm type shop. Willing to drive about 45 minutes but local recommendations appreciated. Also are thee any hidden nature spots or your favourite places for a walk that I might not know about form googling ?
Hi Guys. Moving from T'Up North to the area for work in November so beginning the house hunt now. The job is in Stowmarket. I'm looking for recommendations on places that are within an hour commute. Ideally I'd like to be coastal but that's not a deal breaker if not. Somewhere where there are things to do and able to meet new people. Outside of Ipswich I dont know the area too well. Would consider Norfolk if its within the hour commute. Budget circa 8-1k
I live in Stradbroke, the church bells ring the hour, every hour 24/7. Now I’m not complaining, it’s been going on for hundreds of years and I actually like it, what other villages/ towns still have this going on?
Was a beautiful day to walk up to the top of Orford Castle today 😎
My sweet girl, Maisie, has been missing in the Aldeburgh area (Church Farm holiday park) since 9pm last night. The last known sighting was approx. 10pm on the high street.
Maisie is 14, she is mildly deaf & blind and requires medication. She is microchipped and wears a red tartan collar.
Today was hot and we suspect she may have tried to find shade in peoples gardens or alleys. We are desperately hoping she has been taken in and will be dropped to the local vets tomorrow.
We are from the Norwich area, so this is a very unfamiliar place for her. She is friendly, but may be very timid or get spooked given the circumstances.
If anyone has ANY information on Maisie’s whereabouts I would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

Following from my previous post, I think I've seen my new resident! Pretty sure it's a field mouse 🐁
Seen another news outlet slating Ed Sheeran saying he's been annoying his neighbours. Has anyone actually had problems with him? I don't see swimming in a pond as a big issue but they've made it out that he's the bane of Suffolk ruining the area for everyone https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1939194/ed-sheeran-slammed-neighbours-diving-wildlife-pond?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=reddit
I am trying to start a nano brewery, and it's really hard to find commercial suppliers / orchards in this part of the UK. If you know anyone / any place, then please let me know! Much appreciated!
Anyone knows a decent car locksmith near Colchester if I lost all my keys?
Hey everyone!
I've heard amazing things about Suffolk and its beautiful scenery. My wife (32F) and I (32M) are planning to move to Suffolk from Manchester because She's starting her specialist doctor training (St3) at Ipswich Hospital, and I work remotely (but occasionally would need a London office visit). We're originally from India and have been in the UK for just under three years.
We’re trying to figure out where to live in Suffolk while my wife completes her six-year training. She’ll be rotating through different hospitals in the area (Not a confirmed list but - Starting with Ipswich, Colchester, Bury St. Edmunds, Norwich and maybe even Cambridge at the end). Initially, we thought living somewhere central might make commuting easier, but we're also drawn to a slightly more urban lifestyle with good access to London and Europe. Plus, we’re planning to start a family soon, so good schools are on our radar.
Here are a few things we're wondering:
Thanks in advance!
Update : We recently had a few house viewings in Ipswitch, but were disappointed with narrow lanes and even semi-detached houses felt like terraces, outside ipswich felt great but would be painful to commute around
Hi our cat went missing about a week ago we live in hadleigh and wondered if people would keep they’re eye out for him I’m hoping he hasn’t gone too far but if you see him please DM me! He is all black and his name is Hadrien. He is friendly and has got 2 scratch marks on his head from fights (which could be a reason he has gone missing as he may be hiding) I’ll put a picture of him here but please pls pls he is very missed and any info on sightings would be amazing!! He also loves windows as well so keep an eye out for that!! Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
