Remember me
It feels like just yesterday I was reading under the summer sun, iced coffee in hand. And now, somehow, I’m surrounded by holiday advertising everywhere I look.
Time flies, especially at this time of year, and before I know it, I’ll be walking up to my best friends’ house for a gift exchange only to realize that *gasp* I forgot to bring a present.
With all that holiday preparations and celebrations bring, the search for meaningful, practical, or creative gifts can get put on the back burner. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with some last-minute gift ideas, including Libro.fm audiobooks, of course!
Audiobook credit bundles from Libro.fm
Libro.fm credit bundles can deliver instantly, so you don’t have to stress about shipping delays. And the recipient gets to choose the audiobooks, which makes them a perfect gift for those friends and family members with specific tastes. There are over 600,000 titles for them to pick from, meaning they are sure to find something in their niche (and if they’re waiting for a future release, good news: the credits never expire).
If you do want to give a specific audiobook, but you’re just not sure exactly which one yet, you can check out our Top Ten Bestselling Audiobooks of 2025, based on sales through our 4,000+ bookshop partners. You can also browse our Gift Guide for Every Reader, which is full of bookseller recommendations and organized by areas of interest.
(Or, if you’re one of those lucky people who has no problem planning ahead, have no fear: credit bundles and audiobooks can also be purchased in advance and scheduled to deliver at a later date.)
Audiobook gift pairingsAudiobooks are a great gift on their own, of course, but they also go well with a physical gift or experience. Here are some of our go-to recommendations!
For the romantic
Love someone who loves love? Plan out their ideal date night—maybe dinner and a movie, a fun trip to their favorite bookshop, or a picnic in the park—and gift a coupon for the romantic evening alongside the latest romance audiobook they’ve been eyeing!
For the athlete
If you’re looking for a gift for a super fit friend or your health obsessed dad, take a look at our Bookseller Picks: For the Athlete playlist. Offer to attend a local run club with them (if that’s your thing), or grab them a class at their favorite workout studio.
Supporting your local bookshop (even on a deadline)
We know it can be tempting to rely on overnight shipping from a mega-retailer. But gifting with Libro.fm allows you to shop last minute, support your local bookshop, AND lower your carbon footprint. That’s a win-win-win. It feels good to give in line with your values!
With so many ways to give Libro.fm audiobooks, you’ll never need to compromise on quality, even if your gifting happens a bit later than expected.
