GIVE THE GIFT OF MAKING!
Looking for a gift that actually gets used?
DIYcave gift cards unlock hands-on experiences—shop time, new skills, and the satisfaction of making something real. They’re perfect for Makers, the Maker-curious, and anyone who’d rather do something than unwrap another thing.
And if you’re the Maker in the family, consider this a friendly nudge to pass along to whoever’s handling your holiday shopping. 😉
Our gift cards never expire and can be used toward classes, private instruction, shop time, or materials. Flexible, practical, and built for trying something new—no pressure attached, just possibility.

TEEN CNC DESIGN AND PRODUCTION - BEGINS JAN 7TH
DIYcave’s Teen CNC Design & Production course gives creative teens a hands-on introduction to the tools shaping today’s world. Designed for ages 10–17, this immersive program introduces students to CNC technology—including laser cutters and 3D printers—and shows them how to turn ideas into real, physical objects. Along the way, students learn how these machines work, what materials they use, and how to operate them safely and confidently in a real makerspace environment.
As the course progresses, students dive into open-source CAD design, creating digital files they’ll bring to life on lasers and 3D printers. Projects may range from simple keychains to more complex toys and functional objects, with opportunities to explore advanced techniques like 3D scanning and modeling. By the end of the course, students walk away with tangible projects, real technical skills, and the confidence to design, prototype, and create on their own—skills that build creativity, problem-solving, and future-ready thinking.
