okay I dont mean to be rude but: it's not "kick-knacks", its knick knacks. (knick-knacks pronounced: nick-nacks.) knick-knacks means like, things you might collect or hang up on the wall. Basically things in a small or large quanity/number that probably mean something to you. (nooks & crannies pronounced: noo-oox & kran-eees.) nooks & crannies means like, in small places or like, an (maybe closed/kind of closed off) area.
