One of my favorite places in South Pasadena, Tah Gallery is a wonderful place to shop for unusual gift and home décor items. The gallery specializes in carrying works by local artists and mixes it in with a great selection of crafted items from around the world. Don’t let the gallery’s attractive front showroom fool you, there are plenty of reasonably priced items inside. I recently bought several gifts here—all priced $20 and under—and they gift-wrapped them free of charge in boxes and placed them each in attractive gift bags with tissue paper.
