About Us --

Handmade Scents & Soaps for the Modern Home

Small-batch • Clean fragrances • Designed with heart in Jersey City


Our Story

Present Day Goods began with a simple idea: create everyday essentials that feel beautiful, honest, and intentional. What started as a small creative experiment — blending fragrances at home and selling at local pop-ups — has grown into a full collection of artisan candles, soaps, balms, and home fragrances treasured by customers across the country.

Every product is made by hand with care, curiosity, and respect for the materials we use and the people who bring them into their homes.


Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm the creator behind Present Day Goods — a designer, formulator, and scent-obsessed maker who believes everyday rituals should feel grounding, personal, and a little magical. I hand-pour every candle, blend every bar of soap, and design every label with a focus on quality, creativity, and care.

Our community is wonderfully diverse — teachers, creatives, parents, students, tradespeople, young professionals, and everyone who loves handmade goods. Present Day Goods is here for anyone who finds joy in small details and beautiful scents.


What Sets Us Apart

✨ Clean Ingredients

We use non-toxic fragrance oils that meet IFRA standards. No parabens, no phthalates, never tested on animals.

🌿 Eco-Conscious Packaging

Recyclable tins, reusable glass, and minimal plastic. We believe sustainability should feel natural, not forced.

🖐️ Small-Batch Craft

Every candle is hand-poured and cured for 2x weeks. Every soap is hand-blended and cut, and every label is applied with intention and care.


Made for Homes with Personality

Present Day Goods is for people who want their home to feel warm, stylish, and lived-in — the kind of space filled with art, plants, books, enjoyment and the scent of something beautiful.

Our customers range from thoughtful parents and grandparents to independent working women, urban tradespeople, young people finding their style, and creative folks with open minds. If you love thoughtful design and meaningful scents, you're in the right place.
