We've all got that someone in our life who is impossible to buy for when it comes to the festive season. But with Audible, you can make your present buying saga that bit easier this year, thanks to their gift cards.
Audible is the Amazon service that offers up access to thousands of audiobooks, podcasts and original stories. Memberships to Audible are now available to buy as a gift voucher, allowing your loved one the chance to listen to any book they could possibly dream of.
Audible gift cards give your recipient a subscription to the service for either one, three, six or 12 months at prices ranging from £7.99 to £69.99. This means there's an option for all budgets - or for just the price of one listen, you can send someone a specific book.

What’s the benefit of gifting an Audible subscription or book?
Giving someone the book they’ve been hankering after is a classic way to celebrate Christmas, or any other special occasion. Except now, you can shake up the tradition by gifting them a thrilling audio experience instead.
Audible is an audiobook service owned by Amazon that offers the world’s largest selection of titles, ranging from age old classics to new releases. Subscribers have unlimited access to thousands of Audible Originals, podcasts and audiobooks, as well as an extra credit to spend each month.
Listeners can download or stream their chosen titles which may be read aloud by a narrator, the authors themselves, well-known stars or even performed by an audio cast. Some of the service’s most notable editions include Richard Osman’s latest mystery The Last Devil To Die, read by Harry Potter actress Fiona Shaw, The Diary of a CEO, narrated by the author Steven Bartlett himself, and J K Rowling's Harry Potter books, narrated by Stephen Fry.
Many podcasts also have famous hosts — for instance, the popular sleep aid podcast Sleep Sound which sees different celebrities guide you into deep snoozes is back again, this time narrated by Maya Jama. Then there's Michael Caine’s podcast Heist is about famous robberies, and Jack Whitehall’s Safe Space, which gets the most glamorous of celebrities opening up about their cringiest moments.
Audible has been around for many years now and its catalogue of exciting stories and gripping listens will only grow. Available to listen to on any device including phones, laptops and Amazon speakers, the service is the perfect entertainment for any commute, long journey or chore day.
