Gift Certificates
Sometimes all a person really wants for their birthday/Christmas/graduation/anniversary/random Wednesday is a lesson in how to solder. Or program an Arduino. Or sew their own pants. In years past, this might have meant they got a scented candle or something instead, and had a terrible birthday. Well friends, we are tired of you having to thank people for smelly crap, so starting now you can buy Machine Project Gift Certificates instead!
You determine the amount, pay for it online via the link below, and we’ll send you a gift certificate in that amount good towards any classes, books, or beer we might have available for purchase. Or notate it as a membership or donation for a fully tax deductible present.
If you’d like to redeem a gift certificate for any of the items below, email us at machine@machineproject.com
