Overview
Shopping here is rather like slipping through Lewis Carroll's looking glass. Dried flowers, French silk ribbons, antique figurines of saints, earrings, odd-shaped vases and an ever-changing selection of curios await you in a carefully arranged jumble. The net effect is rather surreal and, on the whole, pleasant. You will feel as if you have slipped out of the hurry-scurry 21st century and into a dreamy past of perfect gifts.Open Hours

My wife visits this store on our yearly visit to the Bay Area. I dread it. The owner and employees are very nice, but the merchandise is absurdly expensive and odd. However, I do notice that the women who enter the store seem to really enjoy the experience and most end up spending money on something. They do have great silver earrings from Mexico and sometimes the prices are in my range, but not always. If you're looking for very "one of a kind" items in an unusual setting, Tail of the Yak might be for you.
