“Beautiful store filled with unique hand crafted gifts made from the heart from developing world countries . Proceeds go back to support those creating these items. Great for gifting and adding a one of a kind touch to your home. Staff pleasant and helpful. Please support this local gem”
“The store is astonishing, with something new to discover around each corner. The art and crafting are exquisite (and surprisingly affordable), and Erica impressed me with her knowledge, generosity and deep understanding (and explanation) of the spiritual roots of the pieces on display. Thank you so much for giving your time and patience to a poor, adrift Kiwi, and for sharing the treasures of your home with me. No puedo esperar para visitar la ciudad de mexico ahora. Mauruuru koe mo nga mea katoa, e hoa.”
“Salutations Home is a metaphor for old Pasadena. It is cozily tucked away on a side street off Lake Avenue, (across from the old Chronicle Restaurant if you go way back). Similar to The city of Pasadena in relationship to L. A., in need not be boastful of it's subdued elegance. It's very YKIYK. And like Pasadena, there's something for every budget and age range. The decor is thoughtfully curated as one could imagine visiting an eccentric aunt that has spent a life collecting items that delight the senses, be it sight, scent, taste or touch. It's a tactile experience picking up items for closer inspection, the jewelry, linens, and candles entice customers to indulge. If that wasn't enough of a motivator, the complimentary signature gift wrap makes every purchase special. And it's bow wow friendly, I noticed a few well behaved cherished canines in tow during my shopping experience.”
“I am not a bar soap person so I will leave those reviews to those that are. I am however a user of shower and skin products and I really like those I have bought from The Soap Kitchen. i have used the Shower Steamers. Both the Lavender for relaxing and Breathe for helping with, yes, breathing (maybe you have a head cold). to other items like Rose Hip Seed oil for your skin and So Fresh, So Clean which removes makeup and helps your skin feel great. Even the candles are nice. I highly recommend them. Give them a try. I'm sure you will like them.”

Gift Shops
“A one of a kind modern day curio shop and my favorite stop in Pasadena. From wax seals to taxidermy there is an endless supply of unusual bespoke objects. The owners of the Gold Bug are as curious and delightful as the object they sell and always make for splendid conversation. Keep an eye open for special events hosted in the store!”
“Great clean establishment. i didnt even know they had smoothies but I was working outside and noticed them on the sign so I had to come try one. I have tried the arrangements and they are definitely 10/10 I highly recommend this location.”
“Homage is always my first stop for finding gifts for people. They have a large, rotating variety of gifts and support many local artists. I always enjoy stopping in and saying hi to the workers there even if I am not feeling like buying something.”
