Choosing gifts (and especially giving them) is going to be a little different this year. But we’re here to help make it easier. This holiday season, give your friends and family instant access to a vast world of need-to-read ebooks and audiobooks, in-the-know podcasts and magazines, and even rock-and-rolling sheet music. Whether your loved ones are history buffs, pop culture connoisseurs, or the next Jimi Hendrix, there’s something for everyone on Scribd.
Ready to knock out your gift list? Head on over to give a subscription here.
Need to read a little more to be convinced? No problem. We always encourage more reading.
FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO BE IN-THE-KNOW
Hot new releases? Current New York Times bestsellers? Buzzy celebrity book club picks from Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, and Jenna Bush Hager? Deep-dive articles about everything from politics to pop culture? Scribd has all these, and that’s only scratching the surface.
FOR THOSE LOOKING TO IMPROVE THEMSELVES
Self-help readers and podcast listeners are always looking for ways to have more fun, find their dream job, and attain true happiness. At Scribd, they can learn how to do all those and so much more.
FOR THE HISTORY BUFFS
We’ve got a few big microhistory lovers on our Scribd team, because there’s nothing more fascinating than thinking about how cod, longitude, or rust have shaped almost everything about our realities. Anyone on your list who needs a history hit during breaks between books will find plenty of popular podcasts on Scribd as well, like Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History and NPR’s Throughline.
FOR THE NEXT ROCK STAR
Whether your loved one is vying to be a bassist in a band, aspires to be the next Billie Eilish, or just decided to pick up an instrument while we’re all social distancing, Scribd’s sheet music catalog will help them jam out.
So why buy your mom two hardcovers for $50 when you can buy her a 6-month Scribd subscription that gives her access to thousands of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, and podcasts for the same price? (There’s also an option to give a full year for $100.) Give a subscription here.
Stay safe, and happy holidays!
