AI gift for a teenager (age and safety notes)

Check age gates before you buy.

Brass packs are for people 18 and over in the US. Do not buy a Brass gift for a minor hoping they will “figure it out.”

Safer patterns for teens

• Parent-owned account with clear household rules
• School-approved tools only
• OpenAI and Anthropic each have their own age and parent policies; read those before gifting lab cards

If the recipient is 18+ and in college, a prepaid pack is appropriate. If they are younger, pick a non-account gift (book, course, hardware) or wait.

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.
