Best Audiobook Gift Ideas

Audiobook Gift Memberships

Why not give the gift of listening? One of the best gifts for audiobook addicts is an Audible Premium Plus subscription. Gifting Audible Premium Plus allows the recipient to listen to unlimited audiobooks from the Plus Catalog each month, as well as receiving one credit that can be exchanged for any title in the Premium Selection (and they get to keep this audiobook forever, even after the subscription ends). You can also choose the subscription length of your gift (1, 3, 6, or 12 months).

Is your audiobook addict already an Audible member? No problem! Current Audible members will receive all credits from a redeemed gift membership at once and their current plan will not be interrupted. Speaking as an Audible member, I would love to receive extra credits as a gift.

Earbuds for Listening to Audiobooks

Similarly, a quality pair of wireless earbuds could be the perfect gift for your audiobook addict! Wireless earbuds are small and convenient, allowing your audiobook fan to listen wherever they go. Personally, I love to listen to a good story while walking or running outside.

My personal favorite are the Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro earphones which offer great comfort, sound quality, and noise-cancellation at a reasonable price.

  • Sennheiser MOMENTUM. These are a good pick if you are willing to spend the extra money for all the bells and whistles with great sound quality. 
  • JBL VIBE 100. If you are on a budget these are a decent all-rounder.
  • Apple Airpods Pro. While I think there are better earbuds options, these may still be a good pick for Apple fans.

Audiobook Player for Kids

Why not share your love of audiobooks with your kids? The Yoto Player is a neat little screen-free device that plays audiobook stories, music, activities, sound effects, radio, and podcasts for children. You can watch the following video to see how it works:


Smart Speaker for Listening to Audiobooks

A smart speaker, such as the Amazon Echo smart speaker, is a fantastic way to enjoy audiobooks.

The Amazon Echo offers premium sound, making it perfect for music as well as audiobooks, and as it is an Amazon product, it easily connects to Audible accounts. This smart speaker will give your audiobook lover the ability to ask Alexa to play your audiobooks with simple commands such as “Alexa, read my book,” “Alexa, what’s in my Audible library?” and “Alexa, what are my books?” 

So if you know someone who listens to audiobooks with Audible and would enjoy a smart speaker, an Amazon Echo could be the perfect gift!
