DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

 Throughout the US, we’re seeing subscription boxes popping up and here at PRESENT, we were largely inspired by the Cause boxes out of California where everything that came out of the quarterly subscription was guaranteed fair trade, socially conscious products. We adopted that idea and this pillar of PRESENT is run largely out of Chestnut Ridge Honey LLC here in Lancaster who started out as primarily a honey company, then added beeswax product blends such as lip balm, eczema blend and more, and eventually added on gift boxes to incorporate and build on this idea that if we want people to make the right choices in wielding their purchasing power for good, then we needed to create a convenient conduit for finding the type of products needed for both every day use and special occasions. 

Fashion stands as one of the 3 original pillars from which PRESENT was born because of the founding member’s work in an industry that is riddled with human right violations and has notoriously and historically been known to demand high yields for poor pay and even poorer and unsafe working conditions. As always as has been our goal with creating a movement like PRESENT is to create an easier more accessible on ramp to engage with a more humane side of the fashion industry and be more conscientious with our purchasing power, no matter what or where we are making transactions.

Events are taking place all the time! Weddings, Graduation parties, religious festivals, showers, retirements, birthdays and more! How many of us stop to think about the products and services that go into the creation of an event? From where do we source the cutlery, linens, clothing, food, drink, decorations, favors, gifts and more?  The original visionaries of PRESENT envisioned the creation of an events package that would make conscientious and socially conscious event planning convenient and streamlined.
