So I have gyre sage and anafenza, kin-tree spirit out. I put in a 1/1 token. Can I choose to bolster first so thathat so that my gyre sage evolves? Or is it too late?

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
Gyre Sage's evolve ability won't trigger for the 1/1 token you create this way, since it checks at the moment the token enters whether its power is greater than Gyre Sage's or its toughness is greater than Gyre Sage's, neither of which is the case (C.R. 603.4, 702.99a). In any case, Anafenza's ability won't trigger either, since the token entering the battlefield isn't a nontoken creature.
Correct. Even here, Gyre Sage's evolve ability won't trigger for the same reason I mentioned in comment 2. Whether the creature entering the battlefield is a token is irrelevant here, and whether its power and toughness will change after it enters the battlefield (such as through bolstering) is likewise irrelevant.
