  • You can't get an Audible gift card, since Amazon doesn't make them, but you can gift someone a specific book or an Audible membership that will allow them to choose their own books.
  • Audible has their own specific gifting menu, which will let you give a membership or book to anyone.
  • You can't use an Amazon gift card to buy Audible books or memberships either.

Unlike chocolate or wine, books are a gift that last forever.

Re-reading a beloved title is like reconnecting with a dear old friend. And when that book comes courtesy of a friend or family member, the book will come with a sense of gratitude, too.

So, give the gift of books with Audible. Which, by the way, you can't do with an Audible gift card — those don't exist.

Instead, you'll need to gift a specific Audible book, or an entire membership.

Luckily, you can do this easily, through the Audible website on your Mac or PC.

How to gift an Audible membership or books

To give a single book as a gift, log into your Audible account on your Mac or PC and find the book you want to gift.

Then on the product page where you would buy it for yourself, select the "Give as a gift" option below the other payment options and then follow the prompts as to how you can deliver the title.

To give an Audible gift membership, go to the membership gifting page and select the plan you want to give.

Audible gift memberships can be given in one, three, six, and 12-month plans. These cost $15.00, $45.00, $90.00, and $150.00, respectively. Each membership will also give them a certain amount of credits, which can be redeemed for a free audiobook.

Then, simply fill in the form there and opt to email the membership gift or print out a code and instructions that you can give in hard copy.

Note that you can share any book in your own Audible library one time (and can share books with any one person a single time), so if you own a title a friend will love, you can use the share shortcut and save some cash.
