Send an Audible Gift Membership
The easiest way to send an Audible book to a friend is to simply to buy them a Gift Membership. There are a few plans to choose from depending on how long you want to offer access to the service: You can view all of these gift options on the Audible website here. The recipient receives one credit per month which he or she can put towards a book. Once the gift membership is redeemed, the recipient can also enjoy exclusive discounts up to 80% off select audiobooks and all the other benefits of a regular, paying member. The recipient will also be able to keep any of the books he or she purchases while on the gift membership.

Send an Audible book as a gift
Audible used to offer the possibility to send books to your friends, using the ‘Give as Gift’ button. The option seems to have disappeared from the web, as Audible has said to be working on offering you ‘a better gift giving alternative’. At time of writing, it is still possible to send your friends a book by using the Audible App (for iOS here) using the Send this Book feature. To do so using an Apple device, simply open the app and go to ‘My Library’. There, choose an available book (previously purchased or acquired with credits) and click on the three dots to make the options appear. Select the last one, ‘Send this Book’, and pick the platform you want to send it from (Email, Message, Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp).
