Gift Guide #4: Subscription Gifts
It feels like each and every year there are more people in my life that fall under the “what do you get the person that has everything” category. I think as we get older, we know that so many of our friends and family can buy the things they really want. I’ve been overwhelmed by an excess of things in my life and I think a lot of people can relate to that.
So, why not give them something that keeps bringing the holiday magic all year long? I love a subscription and it’s something they can look forward to once the lights are down and all the decorations put away.
Audiobooks:
Libro.fm—My favorite way to listen to audiobooks and support an independent bookstore! It’s the same price as competitive services but instead of contributing to a major corporation, you’re money goes to the indie bookstore of your choice! You can use code TISTHEREADSON for a free audiobook when you start a new monthly Libro.fm membership for $14.99 a month. Valid in the US and Canada.
Scribd—Great for magazines, audiobooks, ebooks, and even sheet music! I love this service and have been a loyal subscriber since 2020.
Book Boxes
The Steam Box—For the romance reader in your life! It celebrates diversity in Romance, self care, and healthy sexual expression.
Authentic Books—3 different subscription options depending on what type of experience you want to have. This box focuses on the senses and provides a book and products focused on touch, taste, sound, heart, and sight.
The Book Drop—A book box that supports an indie bookstore! This is a great price as well.
Introverts Retreat—Candles, bath salts, a book and more in this box curated for those of us who love to recharge on our own.
Literati—Probably the coolest option for the readers in your life who love critical thinking and discussion because they can join a book club hosted by their favorite authors! There are kid and adult options.
Once Upon a Bookclub—My friend Sarah works with this company and has a discount code: use MAMASREADING for 10% Off! This option is fun because there are numbers gifts and you open them when you reach that page!
