Birthday AI gift for an adult
For an adult birthday, treat AI like a gift card, not like installing software on their phone.
Simple path
- Buy a prepaid pack
- Send by email or print a card
- Let them claim and spend when they want
$25 is a light gift. $50-$100 fits daily users. $250 is for people who already burn API-shaped spend. Brass is US only and 18+.
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.
