PLEASE READ! About Gift Memberships

  • Gift Memberships can not be redeemed for membership renewals (we don’t like it either - it’s a system thing - we’re working on it).

  • As soon as you make your gift purchase, you will receive a confirmation. This confirmation does not contain the gift code. Gift codes could take up to a day or two to send out and will come with a nice PDF you can print out / digitally send for to the special someone. If you need the gift card like right now, you’ll get a cute lil’ IOU image as soon as you make the purchase.

  • For annual memberships, your code will discount the first year of a membership, then charge at our normal rate after that. The person receiving the gift will be required to put a payment method on file. Memberships can be easily canceled at anytime.

  • Gift Memberships do not expire.

  • Gift Memberships are only good for Tool Library Memberships. We have different gift certificates for Classes and Open Workshop Punch Cards.
