Gifts for Audiobook Lovers
Angela loves audiobooks, so we wanted to share a few of favorite gifts specifically for other audio fans.

Bluetooth Headphones
Angela listens to audiobooks daily, and these are her absolute favorite Bluetooth headphones.
This neckband with retractable earbuds allows her to start and stop her books throughout the day without ever misplacing her earbuds. Buttons on the side make it quick and easy to start and stop the audiobook, adjust the volume, and jump forward or back in the audio without ever having to reach for your phone or tablet. Best of all, these fold and fit in a compact case for travel.
Audible Membership
With prices ranging from $15 to $120, Audible subscriptions are available for a variety of budgets. We love audiobooks when we're too busy to sit down and read, because they can travel with us. Whether we're commuting or folding laundry, being able to listen to a book makes boring tasks a lot more fun.
Bookstack Ornament
We just adore this little book stack ornament that's tied up with baker's twine. Any book worm would love to have this hanging on their Christmas tree!
Of course, if all these ideas fail, you can’t go wrong gifting your favorite book – it’s a thoughtful personal touch. Every book nerd is happy to receive more reading material!
