Around the holiday season I find myself looking to find unique gifts for all of my friends and family. I love to buy everyone things that they not only will use and need, but something that people don’t usually think of. The hardest part of all is gifting to those who don’t always live close enough to physically give them their holiday gift in person. One thing I really enjoy giving is books. I know you are probably thinking, “Really, you are going to give someone a book?,” but each year that I grow a little bit older, I become fasinated with different reading materials and learning more about different subjects. Probably because it’s no longer forced reading (Secretly, I enjoy reading enteuprenurial books). Now the issue lies with giving new precious reading material even to those that don’t live in the Salt Lake Valley. Having friends and family in different places always poses a problem, so, to my relief, Audible.com offers yearly subscriptions for everyone on your list.
Not only will Audible allow everyone to decide which books they would enjoy reading, but starting a brand new book for the new year is a great way to get an edge on those New Year’s resolutions, like learning more about starting your own business (my personal favorites), saving money, raw eating, or any other goals you could think of! I know a few of my friends with long communtes will enjoy listing to some of their favorite books while taking the BART in San Francisco, or sitting in traffic in LA, or even on flights traveling to see yours truely in SLC ;), nothing is better than wasting time finishing a book.
Not only will a subscription be a great gift, it becomes a great gift for the whole family to enjoy. I know a lot of my girlfriends with children will be able to enjoy books together night after night in the new year.
If you are thinking of surprising loved ones with something unqiue and different this year, be sure to check out Audible.com, and make your shopping a little bit easier this year!
The best part of all is that for the holiday season Audible.com is offering 50% off your first 3 months for $7.49 (which is cheaper than a Starbucks these days!). Also, be sure you check out even more coupons for deals on everything Audible.com!
