With alternative to hotel gift basket, entrepreneur grows business

It has been a busy summer for GuestBox. Founder and CEO Shuchi Vyas has been signing on new customers and adding new product companies to the mix for her growing business.

Vyas has created an alternative to the hotel gift basket, dubbed GuestBox. It’s a package of useful items, such as toiletries, snacks and skincare products, for guests at hotels and other rental properties. “What we’re really doing from a higher level is basically standardizing a welcome basket,” she says. “We’re standardizing the budget for them, providing a high-quality guest welcome experience that’s branded, dynamic and relevant, and we’re providing items that guests would actually use during their stay.”
