GRAY CLAY PRINTS
Gray Clay Prints offers personalized ceramic handprints, foot prints and paw prints in the DFW area. The process starts with a piece of clay that we take the impressions on. We then turn that piece of clay into a beautiful ceramic keepsake for you to display and always remember those sweet little hands and feet! You can gift a gift card for someone about to celebrate a special event.
FRIENDS OF FAIR PARK
The gift that keeps on giving. The Friends of Fair Park invite you to buy a brick with someone's name on it as a gift. They say you can become part of Texas history on Fair Park's Texas Promenade Walkway on Grand Ave. next to the Administration offices and the Magnolia Lounge.
