AI gift for a designer

Designers often already pay for an image tool. What they still buy ad hoc is chat credit for briefs, critique, and code-ish handoff.

Gift ladder

1. Prepaid multi-model chat credit (always useful)
2. A lab-specific card only if you know they want that lab
3. Hardware only if they asked for it

Do not gift a shared team seat on their agency account. That creates admin work, not delight.

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.
