Our verdict

Man Crates suits gift buyers who want a ready built gift rather than a components box, with 19 experiences gift boxes and personalization on every order from $34.99. The catch is reach: it runs in US and CA only, and support runs on email and help centre alone.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A single order covers the whole gift, since gift boxes and personalized are sold as ready made gift boxes.
  • Personalization is offered, so boxes can carry the recipient's name or message.
  • Entry price of $34.99 is well below $175 from Bourbon Concierge.
  • A catalogue of 19 experiences gift boxes gives more choice than a single hamper range.

Cons

  • It runs in US and CA only, so a buyer outside those markets has no local option.
  • Support runs on email and help centre only, with no live chat or phone line listed.
  • The range is narrow next to CEWE, whose gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts add photo gifts, cards and gift cards.
  • The catalogue holds 19 experiences gift boxes, so a very specific theme may not be covered.

Who it suits

  • Buyers buying a one-off birthday or anniversary gift who do not want to assemble the contents.
  • Anyone who needs personalization on a gift box, which Man Crates offers.
  • Shoppers in US and CA who can have the box delivered domestically.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers who want photo prints, cards or gift cards on the same order, where CEWE covers gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts.
  • Gift buyers outside US and CA, since Man Crates does not ship there.
  • Anyone who needs live chat or phone support, as Man Crates lists email and help centre only.

The company behind it

Man Crates is run by thoughtfully.mgf, a US company. Its gift boxes come through the Man Crates gifting range on the thoughtfully.mgf storefront, and the collection currently lists 19 experiences options. Product lines are focused rather than broad: gift boxes and personalized are the categories on offer, so the shop is built around gift boxes that arrive ready to hand over. Personalization is offered across the range, which is the point of the format rather than an add-on. Support is narrower than the catalogue. Contact runs on email and help centre, so questions are handled by email or answered in the help centre rather than by a live chat team or a phone line. The company is registered in the US, with its headquarters there, and its market reach is limited to US and CA.

Frequently asked questions

How much do Man Crates gift boxes cost?+

Boxes start at $34.99 on the Man Crates collection. That sits in the middle of the 90 brands compared on entry price, at position 82, and is well below the $175 starting point at Bourbon Concierge.

What can you order from Man Crates?+

The shop lists gift boxes and personalized as its product types, with 19 experiences gift boxes in the current Man Crates collection. Boxes are sold as finished gifts rather than as loose parts, so the contents arrive ready to give.

Can Man Crates boxes be personalized?+

Yes, personalization is offered on the range. That is the core of the format: boxes can be labelled for the recipient, which suits birthdays, anniversaries and thank you gifts where a generic box would not.

Which countries does Man Crates deliver to?+

Man Crates runs in US and CA, and the company is headquartered in the US under the legal entity thoughtfully.mgf. Buyers outside those markets would need a shop with a wider delivery reach.

How do I get help from Man Crates?+

Support runs on email and help centre, meaning email and a help centre. There is no live chat or phone support listed, so questions about a box or a delivery are answered in writing.

Does Man Crates sell gift cards or cards?+

Man Crates lists gift boxes and personalized, so the range is gift boxes rather than cards or gift cards. For a buyer who also wants a card or a photo gift in the same basket, CEWE covers gift boxes, personalized and photo gifts on one site.

Is there a subscription on Man Crates?+

Man Crates sells single gift boxes rather than a recurring plan, so a purchase is a one-off and there is no renewal price to weigh. The entry figure of $34.99 is the outlay for the box itself.

How does Man Crates compare with a bourbon gifting service?+

Bourbon Concierge starts higher, at $175, for spirit and bourbon sets. Man Crates starts at $34.99 and covers gift boxes and personalized instead, so the two serve different gift lists rather than the same one.
