Overview of Knack
There’s no denying that giving brings joy and that sometimes, shopping brings stress—especially when you don’t know what you’re looking for.
Knack was founded back in 2015 in Seattle by Laura Jennings, a tech and venture capital expert. Witnessing the effect that gifting had in the business world, she created the brand as a way for all to give great gifts, whether that was on a corporate or personal level.
Jennings chose to stock brand partners with something unique to offer, over time, building an exciting collection of meaningful gifts that have a story to tell. Whether it’s an exotic tea blend or all-natural body scrub, the brand has gifts for coworkers, family members, college kids, or that barista at your favorite coffee shop who knocks it out of the park every time.
This Knack Shops review will get to the brand’s gift box selection in just a few scrolls. Before we get there, let’s take a quick look at its highlights.
Highlights
- Hundreds of gifts to choose from
- Pre-packed and custom gift box options available
- Gorgeous packaging
- Customers can browse by theme or ethos
- Women-owned
Knack’s collection of gifts is packed to the brim with pre-packed boxes, giving you the ability to shop by theme, occasion, and even ethos (women-owned, sustainable, etc.).
Ahead, this Knack review will walk you through a selection of its Custom Gift Boxes, as well as curated kits for Spa and Employee Appreciation.
Knack Custom Gift Boxes Review
When you have an idea in mind, going with one of the Knack Custom Gift Boxes is a cool idea. You can pick exactly what’s in your gift box, and you even have control over the overall aesthetic and theme.
Below, this Knack Shops review will introduce its two best-selling custom options, the Care Package and Mugs of Cheer. With custom boxes, your final total depends on what you added in, but they all have a $10 base fee for the gift packaging.
Knack Care Package Review
Whether or not it’s shown, we all need to be shown care in life. Something as simple as a gift box is enough to make someone feel special and noticed—which, when it comes down to it, is all people really want.
The Knack Care Package is a thoughtful way to show someone you care and you can pack a whole lotta love into one little box. There are five different gift categories you can add:
- Pick Me Ups: teas, honey sticks
- Soothe and Comfort: sleep accessories
- Bedside Service: mugs, bedside kettle
- Small Diversions: journals, books
- Anything Else: search their inventory
Your gifts all come carefully packaged in a gorgeous little box that’s shipped right to their door. Prices vary.
Knack Mugs of Cheer Review
For some, comfort is just a sip away. The feeling of enjoying something hot on a cold day or a stressful afternoon means everything, and for those the Mugs of Cheer gift set is perfect.
You can pick the mug(s) to match their personality from simple, ornamental, or funky designs before adding on coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. After that, tack on some Holiday Cheer (if the season fits), some Edible Gifts like chocolates, and creative picks like cookbooks, dessert forks, socks, and puzzles.
A joyful set for cozy afternoons, your final total for Knack Mugs of Cheer depends on what you include in the set.

Who Is Knack For?
Ever struggled with gifts? The average person has. Coming up with inventive, thoughtful ideas isn’t always easy, regardless of how much you care. Knack was made to make the gift-giving experience more enjoyable—for you and the person whose day you’re making.
With curated themed gift boxes, Knack has something for everyone, whether that’s a kind neighbor, hardworking employee, loving mother, or a kid who needs a little pick-me-up.
How Does Knack Work?
Knack gives you three different ways to make others smile through their exciting range of gifts.
- Pick from pre-curated boxes
- Put together your own gift box
- Let your recipient do the shopping
No matter which option you choose, the process of shopping, shipping, and receiving is quite similar.
With Option 1, you’ll shop pre-picked boxes, but you’ll have the option to add any extras or remove items you don’t wish to be there. For Option 2, what’s in your gift box is totally up to you. Add as many items as you like.
With both of these choices, when it comes to checking out, you can add photos, messages, and even video messages that will be sent along with your gift box.
With Option 3, you’ll send your gift via email, and the recipient will be able to hop onto the site and add all of the things they love to their gift box. Once the box is put together and ready to go, it will be sent right to the place—home, work, school—you specify.

Is Knack Worth It?
Giving gifts is supposed to be fun, but heading to the mall to trudge around shops looking for interesting presents doesn’t always guarantee an easy, stress-free experience.
Knack was created to make gift shopping enjoyable, curating thoughtfully themed boxes or letting gifters build their own. The quality of items the company stocks is enough to make their boxes worth the buy, but it’s the personalization, the packaging, and the customer service that seals the deal.
Knack Promotions & Discounts
You can’t beat the joy of giving, but getting a good deal is a pretty great feeling too. During this Knack Shops review, we spotted a few ways the company helps you save and compiled them into this handy little list below:
- Get $10 off your first order when joining the mailing list
- Become an Insider and earn points to redeem for discounts
- Refer A Friend: Give them $20, you get $20
Where to Buy Knack
The brand stocks a range of luxury, creative, and tasty items from a long list of different brands, but its boxes are put together, tied up, and sent out through its website. To get gifting, head to KnackShops.com.
FAQ
Who owns Knack?
Laura Jennings founded Knack in 2015 to bring confident joy back into gift giving. She still owns the company today.
How can my gift recipient view my messages?
When you include a message, a photo, or logo with your gift box, Knack will print them off and include them with your gift. The message is tied onto the center of the box lid so that it’s the focal point of your gift.
Included a video message? How tech-savvy of you! The URL for your message will be printed on the back of your written gift message along with a Gift ID that the giftee will type into their browser and watch.
If you’re worried about privacy, that URL cannot be watched by anyone who doesn’t have the Gift ID—no chance of internet lurkers possible.
What will my gift look like? I won’t be there to see them open it.
Knack gives you the chance to view the unboxing experience before you send your gift. In reality, certain gifts will be bubble wrapped for protection, so the unboxing experience may be slightly different but still maintains the same organized beauty.
What is Knack’s Privacy Policy?
When you shop and browse Knack, the company will collect and store personal information like your name, email, phone number, address, and IP address. They use this information to provide you with better service and experience and may share it with third parties for purposes other than marketing and advertising.
At the end of the day, you have control over what information is shared and you can manage your preferences by opting out or emailing [email protected].
What is Knack’s Shipping Policy?
Knack ships to all 50 states from its warehouse in Renton, WA. Regular orders take about 1 business day to process, while larger orders can take 3-4 business days.

If you have special shipping requests, just shoot the brand and email or give them a call using the contacts in the very last section of this Knack Shops review.
What is Knack’s Return Policy?
Boxes are curated and packed with care, so once they leave the warehouse they’re non-refundable. If your gift is returned to Knack you’ll have 5 days to give them a new address or else the items in your care package will be restocked and unfortunately, you won’t be refunded.
