Kawaii curator. Cosmic matchmaker. Joy architect. Since 2017.

I didn't set out to build a gift empire. I set out to make people feel seen.

As a wife, mom of two, and someone who has always believed that the right gift can change someone's entire day. I launched Toastecandy in 2017 as a creative outlet and a love letter to everyone who has ever struggled to find a gift that actually meant something.

Eight years later, Toastecandy has grown into something I only dreamed of back then: a kawaii-inspired gift brand with hundreds of happy customers, a growing product line, and a vision to become the world's most personal gifting experience.

What makes Toastecandy different is the belief that your personality is written in the stars. By combining Chinese Zodiac wisdom with Western astrology, I match real people with gifts that feel tailor-made, because they are.

Here's what we're building together:

A curated kawaii gift shop across Etsy, Amazon, and right here on toastecandy.com. Two YouTube channels where real life, real creativity, and real joy show up unscripted.

Coming Soon: A wellness line starting with our signature collagen matcha bar. The Toastecandy Gift Oracle app: your cosmic gift-matching companion.

I still balance all of this alongside a full-time job and family life, because I believe that building something meaningful doesn't require perfect conditions. It just requires passion, consistency, and a little cosmic guidance.

Welcome to Toastecandy. The universe sent you here for a reason.

With love and star dust, Theresa "Usagi" Founder, Toastecandy LLC
