Unique and Memorable Gifts for Fans of Baltimore, Maryland

We have Baltimore gifts to delight every Charm City fanatic on your list.

  1. Camden Yards
Word art print of M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, handwritten with the name of every Baltimore Ravens player through 2019.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards is as iconic as ballparks get. 

It ushered in a “retro” wave of Major League Baseball stadiums. Multipurpose, domed concrete monstrosities with plastic turf were as “out” as a slugger after three strikes!

Dan’s word art captures the fun and excitement of a picture-perfect Opening Day at Camden Yards.

Created to celebrate Oriole Park’s 25th anniversary, the original piece is handwritten with the name of every player from 1954, when the team moved to Baltimore, to their home field’s silver anniversary season. 

Dan writes this all-time roster largely in the club’s orange and black to create an enthusiastic Opening Day crowd. He uses bright green for the park’s natural grass field, and plenty of blue for Baltimore’s skyline against a glorious, cloudless sky—perfect weather for playing ball!

  1. M&T Bank Stadium
Word art print of M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, handwritten with the name of every Baltimore Ravens player through 2019.

Baltimore’s dozen-year NFL franchise drought ended in 1996 when the Baltimore Ravens kicked off their inaugural season.

Since then, M&T Bank Stadium has housed two Super Bowl-winning Ravens teams and such gridiron greats as Ray Lewis, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Flacco.

In this piece, Dan has “rebuilt” M&T Bank Stadium using the names of every player in Baltimore Ravens history through 2019.

A crowd streams through Gate A, many sporting their favorite players’ jerseys. The team’s signature shade of purple dominates, from fans’ shirts and hats to the stadium’s upper levels and the sky above.

It’s one of the most impressive Baltimore Ravens gifts you can give!

  1. 1983 Baltimore Orioles World Series
Word art print of Baltimore Orioles player Cal Ripken, handwritten with every game from the 1983 championship season.

The Orioles fell one game shy of the playoffs in 1982. But in ‘83 they went all the way, winning the World Series against the Phillies four games to one. 

In the decisive Game Five, a young Cal Ripken, Jr.—long before he became “Iron Man”—caught the final out and won the first of his two American League MVP titles.

To honor the world champion 1983 Orioles, Dan has handwritten the date, opponent, and score of the season’s games, arranging, shading, and coloring them to form a heroic portrait of Ripken at bat. 

It’s the perfect present for the old school Orioles fan in your life who watched it all happen!

  1. Ray Lewis
Word art of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, handwritten with every game of the team’s 2012 championship season.

It’s been 25 years since the Baltimore Ravens chose Ray Lewis as their second-ever NFL draft pick. Since both he and first pick Jonathan Ogden eventually became Hall of Famers, that ‘96 draft was momentous for the fledgling franchise.

Racking up more than 2,000 tackles in 17 seasons, Lewis was an absolute force of nature on the field. His hard-hitting, dominant style helped the team earn the “Baltimore Bullies” nickname it wears with pride.

Dan built up this portrait of Ray Lewis’ post-tackle scream in Ravens purple, black, and gold from the opponents and scores of every game in the 2012 season, including the Super Bowl XLVII victory. Text from Lewis’ energetic pre- and post-game speeches fills the background.

If you’re looking to give exciting Baltimore Ravens gifts, look no more!

  1. Baltimore Skyline 
Word art of the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, handwritten with names of its streets, neighborhoods, and attractions.

This skyline view highlights Baltimore’s crown jewel, the Inner Harbor. 

An active and important American seaport since the 17th century, the Inner Harbor has also been a bustling, beautiful center of commerce and culture since the 1970s.

The waterfront is home to Maryland’s World Trade Center, the National Aquarium, the American Visionary Art Museum, the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, and more. From rich American history to rich crab cakes, the Inner Harbor has something for everyone, resident or tourist. No wonder the Inner Harbor is one of the world’s top waterfront destinations

Dan developed this lovely view of the Inner Harbor at sunrise by handwriting the names of its streets, neighborhoods, and major landmarks.

    Referral for Expert Crypto Recovery Services – Proven Results with TREK Tech Corp

    My name is Franziska Tamino, and I am based in Germany, where I am engaged in the real estate sector. Two months ago, I experienced a significant financial loss, totaling $2.3 million in Bitcoin and USDT, due to the actions of a fraudulent investment firm. The incident was initiated when I received an appealing proposal from an organization called CANCAP, which promised substantial returns and displayed verified investor profits, prompting me to invest the entire amount.

    Subsequently, I faced persistent demands for additional payments when attempting to withdraw funds. Shortly thereafter, their website disappeared, and all attempts to establish contact proved unsuccessful. I was left in shock, with my hopes of recovering the funds diminishing rapidly. Despite my efforts to involve authorities, these fraudsters remained elusive.

    Approximately one month after the incident, while conducting online research, I came across an article about TREK Tech Corp, a firm renowned for its expertise in cryptocurrency recovery. I reached out to them and was profoundly impressed by the professionalism and efficiency demonstrated by their team. Utilizing advanced software tools, they successfully recovered $1.8 Million USD from the total amount within just 72 hours—despite the scam having occurred months prior. I remain deeply grateful for their assistance and continue to be in awe of their capabilities.

    My husband left me for another woman a few months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain and agony because my husband was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend and also a colleague from work told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritual counselor called Doctor Muna, He can bring back lover within some few days. Ridiculously, I laughed it out and said I am not interested. But for friendship’s sake, she consulted this God sent man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise, Immediately after 12 hours, my husband called me for the very first time for over 7 months saying “I miss you babe and I’m so sorry for everything I made you went through” I couldn’t say a word but cried over the phone and hanged up. We are back together and living Happily together again. To be honest, I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you DOCTOR MUNA for bringing back my love and also to my SELFLESS FRIEND. Laura, who interceded on my behalf. For anyone who might need help of this wonderful spiritual counselor, here is the email address: marvelspelltemple@gmail.com, Also add him on WhatsApp: +2347035449257
