25 Days of Gifts—#22

For the artiste—Lori Larusso's graphic yet inviting paintings of food settings are a visual treat. Art is always a timeless gift—never goes out of style, never gets too small, and most likely won't need replacing in a few years. Medium paintings like the Fruit Ka-Bob, above, and the Hot Beverage and Cinnamon Roll, below, go for $450 while she also has Olive paintings that are a bit easier on your "walleting" at $100. Paintings can be found at Jordan Faye Block Contemporary in a converted church at 1401 Light Street in Federal Hill.—Shabdiece Esfahani, intern
