Audible Premium Plus allows your gift recipient to stream thousands of books as long as they’re an Audible subscriber. Plus, new audiobooks are added to the Plus library every week! Similar to OverDrive or Libby, they won’t get to own these books, but they can listen to them anytime as long as they’re a subscriber. Awesome! With that, they’ll receive 1 credit a month to buy an audiobook that they’ll own forever!

They can use the free Audible app to listen while walking or in the car. Plus, Audible audiobooks are accessible on all Apple and Android devices, Alexa-enabled devices, and even on Kindle.

If your recipient owns a Kindle, their Audible items will be waiting in their Audiobooks tab — how simple is that? Subscribers can look forward to receiving TWO new Audible Originals and ONE new audiobook of their choice every month. Audible has over 180,000 titles! WOAH!


2. Gift Kindle eBooks starting at just 99¢.

Have a reader on your shopping list? Then consider sending a few Kindle ebooks on their holiday wishlist from Amazon. It’s so easy to do and these books make great online gifts!

Simply head to Amazon and choose the Kindle ebook you would like to give as a gift, then scroll down and choose the ‘buy for others’ option. From there you’ll be able to enter the recipient’s email address at checkout. Easy peasy! With over 6 million titles available there’s a little something for everyone on your list.

Hip Tip: If your recipient doesn’t have a Kindle, keep in mind that they can still read books on their computer or other mobile devices with the FREE Kindle Reading App.


3. Gift a Kindle Unlimited Membership starting under $60.
