AI gift for a coder who already has Copilot

GitHub Copilot is already in their editor. Gifting another Copilot seat is redundant. What they still pay for out of pocket is chat, agents, and weekend experiments on Claude or GPT.

Better gift

Prepaid credit they spend outside the IDE: drafting RFCs, debugging with a second model, building small agents. You do not need to know whether they prefer Claude or GPT if the pack covers both.

Skip sharing your Copilot org. That is IT’s problem, not a birthday present.

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.
