Toy Joy

Toys Unique, one of Dallas' oldest independently owned toy stores, has everything on your child’s list. Children play and clerks can recommend toys for all ages. This is a family a air. Owner, Pam May, works the sales desk and her son rings up toys on the weekends.

It’s the kind of place where children who enter knowing exactly what they want, change their minds.

5460 W Lovers Lane.

Gift Goodies From A Local Mom

This mom of Jesuit and Ursuline grads started Butterfield Gourmet, which sells home-made sweets, savory pies and more. Ruth Butterfield, whose son graduated from Jesuit in 2015 and daughter graduated from Ursuline in 2008, creates gift boxes to order. Items sell out, so order in advance. Pick up at her kitchen or order delivery. 9800 Preston Road, butterfieldgourmet.com.

MY HOME, MY GIFT
