Audiobooks make great gifts—especially when your purchase supports local indie bookshops. With Libro.fm, you can give audiobook credit bundles or specific audiobooks to spread the joy of reading!
And audiobooks are one of the most sustainable gifts you can give. According to Unwrapit, a certified B Corp and corporate gifting company that specializes in helping companies give no/low-waste gifts to recipients, a single audiobook produces nearly half of the CO2 emissions of a typical physical gift. Because audiobooks aren’t physical, they also aren’t destined for landfill. (We’ve partnered with Unwrap it since 2022, helping companies gift audiobooks to employees in a fun and meaningful way.)
In addition to sending virtually—either instantly or scheduled in advance— you can print out a Libro.fm gift certificate with a custom message. Once you complete your purchase, the printable gift certificate can be found at www.libro.fm/user beneath the “Gifts” section. If you’re gifting without a Libro.fm account, you can find the option to print on the purchase confirmation page or purchase confirmation email.
With a little creativity, you can transform a simple printed gift card into a delightful surprise. Here are some creative and fun ways to elevate your audiobook gifting:
Make a pop-up card
Wow your gift recipients with a pop-up card that reveals the gift certificate or redemption code, making it a delightful surprise!
Hide the gift certificate in a book
Why settle for one gift when you could give them two?! Whether a favorite book of yours or theirs (off your own shelf or from your beloved indie), slide the certificate within the front few pages for an additional surprise.
Slip it into a homemade bookmark
Using a digital design tool like Canva or good ol’ arts and crafts, create a bookmark with a pocket to slip the card into. You can decorate it with a thoughtful message, or even stickers that represent the person’s interests. Then it’s like two gifts in one!
Present the gift card in an advent calendar
Make it a fun countdown! You can create an advent calendar with different days leading up to the reveal of the gift certificate, or place it in one of the compartments.
Design a scavenger hunt
For a fun twist on gifting, try organizing a scavenger hunt that ends with the gift certificate! Brainstorm some clues or riddles, guiding the recipient through various locations before revealing the surprise at the final stop. (Maybe in their favorite indie bookshop?!)
When you give Libro.fm credit bundles, your gift recipient can pick their own audiobooks. Credits never expire and can be redeemed on any audiobook, regardless of price. Interested in gifting a specific audiobook? Just choose “Gift audiobook” on the audiobook’s page.
