My fiance Averell was nice enough to share her experience with Knack below.   She is kind of a hard ass with high standards so feels good to get some praise from her.

Enjoy Fred

Here is a pic of Averell after she finished the Escape triathlon in San Francisco this weekend. I was impressed!

“I like to make lists and work in spreadsheets.  Knack has made my life so much easier, particularly now as we are in full on wedding mode.  Instead of coming home to boxes of gifts (which after my bridal shower was very overwhelming), I simply get an email indicating when a guest has purchased a gift for us.  I then immediately transfer the information to my gift spreadsheet (and categorize it under wedding gifts in my gmail in case I ever lose my spreadsheet).  We then prioritize which gifts we order based on sales and free shipping deals for our non-knack catalog items.  Similarly, with the items we’ve selected from the Knack catalog, we decide when we want the items shipped so our tiny apartment isn’t overtaken by boxes! 

The other thing I love about Knack is when I had my shower on the east coast, a lot of the guests actually purchased gifts on Knack because they knew whatever we received we’d be transporting back to California, but brought a smaller, complementary item to the shower so I would at least have something to open.  I truly appreciated that especially with how expensive checking baggage is these days!  After the shower, I remember feeling overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity and by all of the gifts that I had to somehow bring home with me.  The whole party was a blur, and I was thankful my sister had been recording the gifts but I still worry that I haven’t properly thanked someone because there gift got lost in the shuffle of the day.  With Knack, I have a permanent record, so I never have to worry about missing a thank you note!

Seriously, I love Knack and couldn’t imagine registering with anyone else!  My friends love that my fiancee has his own section of items he particularly likes, and they love that they don’t have to switch between multiple registries to find the perfect gift.  I just love that it’s convenient for my guests as much as it’s convenient for me!”
