Gift Claude for Christmas when Anthropic gifts are down

If their whole year runs on Claude, a Claude gift subscription would be the obvious Christmas present. Anthropic’s gifting page says those gifts cannot be purchased right now.

You still have good options that arrive on time.

Three Christmas paths

  1. Prepaid multi-model credit. Pay once, send a link, or print a card for the stocking. They spend it on Claude and on other models when Claude is busy.
  2. A ChatGPT gift card if they also live in GPT, via US retailers per OpenAI’s gift card help. It will not fund Claude.
  3. A guest pass only if you will say it is a seven-day trial that can convert to paid Pro.

Timing

Digital gifts beat shipping cutoffs. Email delivery works the morning of. A printable card works when you want something to wrap.

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.
