Gift Certificate to Audible.com. I listen to about one (nearly all non-fiction) book every 2-3 weeks in the car, and have a list of over two dozen on my “wish list”. You can buy me a $10-20 gift card which will buy 1-2 books depending on their length. Don’t listen to the news or music every time you’re in your car… mix it up with audio books and get smarter.
