Did you know that 4 of Patrick Smith’s books are on Audible? They are A Land Remembered, Forever Island, The River is Home and Allapattah. These would be perfect last minute gifts for that person on your list who loves to listen to books.
And while you can gift them a single book, did you know that you can also gift them an Audible subscription? If you go that route, not only can they listen to Patrick Smith’s books, they will have access to thousands more!
With a subscription, you give them the flexibility to pick any audiobook with a monthly credit—plus access to even more benefits. One of the things I really like is that the gift membership doesn’t auto-renew, so there are no subscription surprises.
What is an Audible Gift Subscription?
Here is what your recipient gets:
- They will get monthly credits for purchasing any audiobook for each month of the gifted subscription. A single credit allows you to purchase any book in the main Audible library, from bestsellers to new releases, even if they cost much more in cash.
- They get the Plus Catalog and all-you-can-listen catalog that includes thousands of audiobooks, podcasts, and originals
- They keep any books bought with credits even after the gift period ends.
- And what I like best…the gift membership doesn’t automatically renew, so they won’t be charged after the subscription ends.
How to Gift an Audible Subscription
Here is a step-by-step guide to giving them an Audible subscription:
- Go to Audible’s Gift Center.

- Select a Membership. You can choose the duration (1, 3, 6, or 12 months) you want to gift.
- Fill in information about the gift and select how to send it (email or printable card).
- Choose a digital card to accompany the gift.

- Log in to your Amazon/Audible account if prompted.
- Click the Buy Now button to complete the purchase to send the gift membership.
I love seeing my dad’s novels appear in audiobooks. Many people prefer listening to books rather than reading them. All four of these have been professionally narrated and will definitely take you into the action.
Whether for yourself or as a unique gift to your friends and family, this is a gift that will be used and appreciated for a long time.
