Your friends think you’re a DIY champ. But the fact is you’re a closet BIYer – a master of Buy It Yourself.

That gourmet dinner – You phoned it in.
Those tasty cocktails – You just hit the pre-mixed bottle.
The decadent dessert - It was a fake and bake.

But now that your favorite shop has sliced its gift-wrap service, everyone is about to learn how much you cut corners.

Don’t just bag it. Shop Toast will pull you out of the present fire.

The store known for its adorable favors and cozy Kaimuki showroom has launched its first do-it-yourself favor kit. The set comes with everything you need to package jewelry or other little gifts and treats in Shop Toast’s popular “Tying the Knot” design.

The fabric is available in 16 different colors. Every element is pre-cut and pre-folded and comes with illustrated instructions for the creatively challenged. The kit even includes a sweet extra; Shop Toast’s wooden tags engraved with a sun, cloud, and heart.

So you can easily charm your friends without blowing your cover.

Now that’s a (secret) wrap.
