About Us --

Present Day Goods is a Jersey City-based maker of thoughtfully crafted home and body essentials — from richly scented coconut wax candles and seasonal room sprays to handmade soaps, lip care, body and hair oils, balms, and lotions. Every product is made in small batches with intentional ingredients and clean, non-toxic fragrance that’s safe, refined, and full of character.

We started as a creative experiment blending scents at home for coconut wax candles. We took them to local markets and have grown into a brand with customers from Jersey City to California who care about quality, sustainability, and beautifully useful objects that feel calm, real, and grounded.

Our work is driven by craftsmanship, environmental awareness, and transparency. We use recyclable glass and tins, minimize plastic, and formulate with ingredients we’re proud of — because our community reads labels and cares about what they bring into their homes and onto their bodies.

Present Day Goods is for people who value thoughtful design, sensory richness, and everyday ritual — makers, thinkers, shoppers with purpose, and anyone who appreciates objects that feel substantial, honest, and made with care.
