When a $250 AI pack makes sense as a gift

$250 is the top Brass pack. It makes sense when the recipient already burns serious usage.

Good fits

• Builders running agents and evals
• Freelancers who invoice AI as a cost of goods
• A small team split across a few people (better as separate packs)

Poor fits

• Someone who opens ChatGPT twice a week
• A first gift when you do not know their stack

If you are unsure, $50-$100 is the safer birthday range.

Brass sells prepaid packs of $10 to $250 you can gift by email or as a card you print. Credits never expire. The recipient spends them across Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek. US only, 18 and over; an unclaimed gift returns to you after 90 days.

Still shopping for the holidays? A Brass pack goes by email or as a card you print at home, so it is there the day you give it. Send a pack.
