Throw a Party for Two with Fete-a-Tete! It’s Our “Great Gift of the Week” Feature!

Posted by Jen Bilik on Add a Comment
Hello. Does this not say instant party for two?

Fete-a-Tete—a play on “tête-a-tête,” meaning “head to head” en français. Fancy and a little bit confusing, right? It actually couldn’t be easier: it’s everything you need for an impromptu party for two—just add wine. We’ve got Happy Birthday. We’ve got Congratulations. We’ve got Apology. Stock up on a few of these, and if you get that last-minute call or insert …

“Pep Talk”: Put a Little Pep in Your Step Google Roulette Monday

This version included more items than a company could possibly be profitable with: a pencil pouch, ratings sticky notes, a truly crappy pen or four (including two dry-erase so you could mark orders on the plastic sleeves holding the menus), and a life-sized (small) order-taking pad. And . . . the essay!

It’s our “Something for Nothing” feature, in which we give you something we wrote or otherwise made (other than the blog post itself, of course)—for free! Back in the day, before Knock Knock was jaded (or sensible, depending on how you look at it), we put tons o’ editorial content in everything. Even in products for which you wouldn’t necessarily …

Big Word Flashcards—For Juvenile Sesquipedelians It’s Our “Glimpse of the Future” Feature!

Posted by Jen Bilik on Add a Comment
As grown-ups, you may know what "lilliputian" means and where it comes from. But do you know what "brobdingnagian" means (let alone how to pronounce it)? The true test of adulthood.

As most of you know, Flashcards have been one of our stocks in trade since we released the original Slang and Therapy Flashcards in 2003. We refreshed them and made them a bit smaller for Spring 2010 and brought Parenting and Foodie Flashcards into the mix. For the past year and a half or so, we’ve really enjoyed bringing out …

Posted by Knock Knock on Add a Comment
Owen, a young friend of Knock Knock, is looking way too cool for school.

Our “In the Wild” feature shows fans in their natural habitat, with Knock Knock products at hand. As the manufacturing coordinator here at Knock Knock, I get to see projects take shape from beginning to end. But it wasn’t until Owen, a six-and-a-half-year-old boy dear to my heart, recently got his very own copy of our This Or That? book …
