“This shop is absolutely amazing and I can not wait to go back. The owners are incredible and dedicated to making the community more peaceful/kind. I need to invest in some of their stones. I absolutely recommend this shop. They also have beautiful clothing, jewelry and great gift options!”
“This gift shop in downtown Sausalito is one of the better stores, featuring local souvenirs with "Sausalito" emblazoned on them, and also fun products from around world like Studio Ghibli stuff and Adventures with Tin Tin books and gifts! It's a BIG store -- take some time to check out all the nooks of this shop! Prices ranges here depending on what item -- but there's something for everyone here. Staff are not intrusive and generally will service you at the check-out counter.”

“A Gem and Sacred Space ?
Routes Gallery has become one of my absolute favorite places—not just to shop, but to be inspired. Nearly every room in my world is touched by the beauty I've found there: my Skin Care Spa is filled with serene Buddha statues, shimmering geodes, and soulful objects that have helped create a sanctuary-like atmosphere for my clients. It's more than decor—it’s energy. A feeling of peace, presence, and reverence that people feel the moment they walk through the door.
My home and garden are equally graced by their treasures: a majestic Balinese water goddess by the fountain, a large Buddha watching over my deck, and a meditation room filled with meaningful, handpicked items—all from Routes Gallery.
What truly makes this place extraordinary is the owner, Richard Routher. Richard is a gem —kind, thoughtful, full of creative ideas, He always goes above and beyond, and it shows in every interaction that I have had.
Whether you're looking to infuse your space with sacred beauty or searching for that perfect meaningful gift, Routes Gallery is a place of wonder and heart. I’m forever grateful I found it.

“Revolution 9 is such a cute shop! I stopped by yesterday for the first time in about ten years. It was nice to see how very little had changed in all the ways that matter. Going down the list: Attentive customer service? Check. Excellent selection of fun, nerdy, and political gifts? Check, check, and check! If you have Star Wars, Tolkien, Harry Potter, or Studio Ghibli fans in your life, Revolution 9 is a great place to shop for gifts. I got my fiancé a funny "Greetings from Tatooine" postcard and found a My Neighbor Totoro insulated lunch bag for myself. I love the friendly and welcoming vibes here and will be sure to wait less than ten years for my next visit.”

“This is a cute contract post office & gift shop. I can't imagine saying, "a cute post office." But, here we are. The shop is crisp and beautiful; filled with high-end Marin souvenirs I was walking past when I spotted the Mariage Frères tea. I was excited to try a new variety and asked the owner for a recommendation. He gave me some options and let me take them outside to smell them. They were all lovely and I went home with a new canister. If you're in search of Marin swag, this is a good place to look.”
“(Translated by Google) The gentleman who attends is too kind, knows the pieces perfectly, makes very good suggestions and the best: he has unique pieces! The lovers of these brands must visit it. Highly recommended!”
“I can always find something here either a gift for a friend or for me! The staff is kind and willing to help pick items out. They have a little of everything nice cute/unique cards, and fun trinkets. This is a must stop when shopping downtown.”
“High quality American made maker goods great gifts wonderful accessories housewares leather goods everywhere I looked I found something even more interesting about my friend a wonderful wedding gift here at a very reasonable price”
“T. Jamyang Nordup [the once monk proprietor of this outpost for Tibetan spiritual exchange] has said he is from south of Lhasa, near the border of Nepal, in a place named Kyidrong [translated from Tibetan, as Happy Valley, or Village of Hapiness]. in the past, Kyidrong was a place for fellow Buddhists to congregate, as they traveled from India, and other Holy regions, destined or coming from Lhasa. This shop then, was a vision of Mr. Nordup's, when he came to America in 1988, as a refuge for information, on what some Westerners have named, "Shangri-la". During our discourses in fact, he has explained his great passion for the numerous subjects about Tibet, which he says are very delightful to discuss with visitors.”
