Natalie's Success Story
myHunnybox is unique because we make the care package process easy. Also, since the founders are within the target market, we can directly relate to what our market’s needs and wants are. myHunnybox also creates a blend of data and human selection by offering a survey that allows customers to tell us more about their preferences.
We came up with the idea for myHunnybox after seeing our friends, older peers, and siblings experience homesickness after going off to college, and our parents feel the effects of becoming empty-nesters. Sending a care package can be very time-consuming, so we created myHunnybox to make the process fast and simple.
