AI gift for a grandchild who lives in ChatGPT

Grandparents ask this every November: they want to give something the kid will use, not another hoodie.

Age first

Brass packs are for people 18 and over in the US. If your grandchild is younger, do not buy Brass for them. Look at what their school or parents already allow, or give a book.

If they are 18+

1. Ask whether they are mostly on ChatGPT or bounce between apps.
2. GPT-only: an OpenAI gift card ($15-$250) redeemed at chatgpt.com/redeem.
3. Multi-model or you are unsure: prepaid credit.

How to present it

Email the link with one sentence: “This is AI credit. Spend it whenever. It does not renew.” Or print the card and put it with a short note. Do not share your own ChatGPT password.

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.
