About SnackMagic

SnackMagic delivers customizable snack boxes right to your door. The company offers a selection of unique and tasty beverages, pantry staples, sweet treats, baked goods, and more to choose from.

Having launched in 2020 amid the pandemic, SnackMagic offers a safe gift-giving option for co-workers, friends, or family members. Gift-givers have the option of curating a box, or they can choose to let the giftee choose the treats they want!

The relatively new company has a respectable 4.8k followers on Instagram. SnackMagic is being increasingly recognized for its innovative build-your-own-box service and has been featured in multiple YouTube videos and by various news outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch.

This SnackMagic review will look at the brand and everything it has to offer. We’ll dive into its snacks, customer ratings, promotions, and more, to help you decide if its customizable snack boxes are worth the buy.

Overview of SnackMagic

When the global pandemic hit, SnackBox founder Shaunak Amin knew there must be a safe, but still fun, way to send customizable gifts to the important people in your life.

Whether you’re thanking a group of 100+ employees or sending your best friend a birthday box, choosing what to give can be an incredibly stressful experience, especially when we are required to socially distance ourselves. As a believer that the common saying “giving is better than receiving” is not always true, Shaunak wanted to take the pressure off of giving gifts.

The result? The world’s first gift box that can be fully customized by the giftee. The process is surprisingly easy. The buyer simply sets the budget. Then, SnackBox will send a link to the recipient(s).

The giftee can then access the site and choose from a selection of high-quality treats, including fizzy beverages, baked goods, salty snacks, delicious jams, smooth coffees, and so much more. There are currently hundreds of delectable options that were sourced from around the world for their taste, quality, and uniqueness.

At the time of this SnackMagic review, the brand has already shipped millions of snacks worldwide—and it’s only the beginning of its journey. SnackMagic is proof that good things can come out of not-so-good situations.

For those that would rather choose what their giftees receive, the company offers that option, too. Customers can hand-pick snacks for their friends and family, or choose from a selection of already-curated boxes.

Now that you know a bit more about the brand and how it got started, let’s go over some initial pros and cons:

Pros

• Offers hundreds of snack options from around the world, including baked goods, beverages, hot sauces, jams, chips, cookies, coffees, and more
• Customers can choose to have the giftee select their snacks, select snacks for the giftee, or choose a pre-curated box
• Inclusive of dietary choices and restrictions (i.e. vegetarian, pescatarian, kosher, and gluten-free options)
• Option to add branded swag or boxes to your order, which is most often used by businesses
• Can gift from anywhere in the world
• Option to schedule your gift for a later date
• In the event that your giftee does not claim their gift, you will not be charged
• You can add a virtual component to your gift for an additional charge, such as a Trivia Night or Beer Tasting
• Free US delivery
• Ships internationally

Cons

• International shipping can be expensive with long delivery times

SnackMagic Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Though the brand’s selection of delicious treats and unique gift-giving service seem promising, this SnackMagic review wanted to see what customers are actually saying. Because SnackMagic is a newer company, online reviews were very limited. We’ve gathered the most informative testimonials from the brand’s social media platforms, its website, and webpages like Reddit and G2 to get a clearer picture on what it offers.

On its customer reviews page, SnackMagic helpfully divides its feedback into three sections: organizer feedback, US recipients feedback, and international recipients feedback. Importantly, reviews are hand-picked by the brand and are limited in quantity. As a result, these reviews only show a glimpse into what shoppers are saying about the company.

One customer reported that sending a SnackMagic box required only a small amount of effort, but that the giftees loved it: “I’ve got some key people that I wanted to thank for sticking with me through the last few months. I surprised each of them with SnackMagic, and they were absolutely thrilled! The small gesture went a long way to show them my gratitude.”

Another reviewer highlighted the SnackMagic gavottes and water lily seeds for how delicious they were: “I’m just getting into it but the popped water lily seeds are very tasty and the Gavotte’s thin butter cookies in salted butter, caramel and vanilla are fabulous. I have to hide the rest from my husband if I want any. The U Luv brownie cookies are very good. Hard to believe their gluten free.”

On its Instagram page, this SnackMagic review came across encouraging comments across its posts. Here customers report how yummy the snacks are and how diverse the selection is. Similarly, a lot of brands are commenting about how they’re happy to be involved with SnackMagic.

On G2, the company has earned an impressive 5/5 stars, though it is only from 12 reviews. These testimonials are incredibly positive, with many customers recommending its unique service.

One customer argues that SnackMagic boxes are the perfect solution for gifting large groups of people during COVID-19:

“As an administrative assistant, one of my roles is to provide rewards to employees, often in the form of food. When I could just bring snacks to the office, it was an easy job! During this past year, everyone has been working from home, so in order to send treats, I had to collect dozens of home addresses. With SnackMagic, the employee can provide their address directly to the vendor.”

As for SnackMagic Reddit reviews, one user shared their opinion on the brand’s overall image stating, “their branding could use some work but overall seems like a solid company.“

Overall, customers seem extremely satisfied with the company’s selection of snacks that are delicious, unique, and sourced from around the world. Because it is such a new business, online reviews are very limited. This SnackMagic review believes the company is on the right track to a bright future. As it grows, we hope more users will share their honest experiences with the brand.

Is SnackMagic Worth It?

If you’re looking for an exciting gift that you know the recipient will use, appreciate, and enjoy, SnackMagic is definitely worth a shot. With its customizable products that cater to the giftee, you’re pretty much guaranteed a happy reaction.

This SnackMagic review believes the brand stands by its mission to provide a pressure-free gift-giving process for co-workers or loved ones with tasty snacks they’ll love. After reviewing customer ratings and taking a closer look at their purpose, we perceive SnackMagic to be accommodating, having your best interest in mind.
