FATHER’S Day is fast approaching, but dads aren’t always the easiest to buy for.
But I’ve found the perfect solution: a 30-day free trial of Audible, with plans starting at just £5.99 a month after.
Audible, 30-day free trial (renews from £5.99/month)
If your dad is anything like mine, finding the right gift can feel like a bit of a mission.
Whenever I ask him what he’d like, I get the same familiar, “I don’t need anything,” response.
It’s one of those answers that’s both endearing and maddening, making the whole gift-giving process feel more complicated.
This year, though, I think I’ve found the perfect solution in Amazon’s Audible subscription.
Having used Audible myself for the better part of a year, I can confidently say it’s an ideal gift for dads who are impossible to shop for.
And with Father’s Day just around the corner on June 15th, it’s what I’ll be gifting my dad this year.
It’s something he wouldn’t think to buy for himself, and honestly, it beats yet another “Best Dad” mug or novelty socks by a mile.
The standard Audible subscription starts with a 30-day free trial and includes one audiobook per month, all for just £5.99 after the trial ends.
If you’re feeling generous or just want to make a bigger impression, the premium plan is worth considering.
With a premium subscription, your dad receives one credit each month to select any audiobook he wants, which he can keep even after the membership ends.
Plus, there’s unlimited access to over 10,000 additional titles and Audible Originals through the Plus Catalogue.
That’s the option I’m going with, because it feels like a thoughtful gift, even if you’re buying at the twelfth hour.
It gives him a whole month to explore Audible’s library, while giving me a chance to give a gift that feels more personal.
If your dad’s new to audiobooks and not sure where to start, Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey is a great shout, with a mix of stories, reflections, and odd bits of wisdom.
My own dad is a huge footie fan, with a small collection of football memoirs.
There are loads of great ones on Audible, including Alex Ferguson’s leadership lessons or Steven Gerrard’s stories from the pitch.
But whether he’s more into fiction or thrillers, the bestseller section is full of options that’ll keep him entertained.
All in all, Audible is a solid, no-fuss gift that shows you’ve thought about what he’d enjoy and will get you in his good books.

VOGUE Williams and Spencer Matthews have been forced to slash the price of their luxury South London flat by £1.3million.
The TV star couple have been hit with the fresh blow after failing to sell the property in more than a year.
Vogue and Spencer had first listed the apartment for £5.25million after deciding to say goodbye to the city for a new life in Dublin.
But with it still on the market earlier this year, they dropped the asking price to £4.7million.
The swish four-bedroom property, which has a concierge and private gym, is now listed on property website Rightmove for £3,950,000.
The price reduction comes despite Vogue, 39, and 36-year-old Spencer‘s home having extensive features.
There are two huge reception rooms, a private roof garden/terrace, a bar and in-house cinema/media room.
The primary bedroom comes with an en-suite, with two more luxury bathrooms elsewhere in the property.
Vogue and Spencer had first put their home on the market in early 2024 with the view to snapping up a bigger property in Ireland for their three children – Theodore, Gigi and Otto – to grow up in.
Hailing from Ireland herself, Vogue has always had a house there and the couple also own a home in Jersey.
During their reality TV show, Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too, Vogue didn’t hide her desire to raise her family back on the green isle.
She also told Mail Online in 2023 how she had put their Irish property up for sale as they had found their dream home in Howth, Dublin.
Vogue said at the time: “It’s where I grew up, it’s the only place I’d want to live in Dublin, it’s by the sea, and when you’re working all the time in London, it’s nice to go back there.
“It’s the kind of place that our family can just be in forever.
“I suppose you’ll always feel like that but it’s such a beautiful house, it’s just slightly small as our kids are getting bigger, and our family is kind of expanding.”
Vogue and Spencer’s property plight comes after they were forced to deny repeated rumours that their marriage was in trouble.
The couple tied the knot seven years ago and Vogue was left furious after the whispers failed to go away.
Setting the record straight in March, she fumed: “It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!
“I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up.”
Vogue posted her fiery rant alongside a carousel of images showing herself and Spencer looking seriously loved up.
She went on to insist that rumours of a marriage breakdown were “absolutely not true”, adding: “More importantly I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.”
Vogue concluded: “We’re not sure what the angle is or where it’s coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean.
“We’re very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform might make it stop.”
NICO ALI WALSH is dreaming of fighting in the UK – having been left in awe at Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn’s classic.
Eubank beat Benn in their middleweight grudge match at Tottenham after 12 brutally classic rounds.
The pair of nepo babies somehow managed to match the thriller their father’s treated fans to 35 years ago.
And it inspired Ali Walsh – grandson to boxing’s Greatest Muhammad Ali – to live up to his iconic surname.
He told SunSport: “I love Eubank. He’s an awesome dude and then the fight, I mean, just a quick side note, the fight that him and Conor Benn put on was absolutely amazing.
“They put it on for, not just boxing fans, but they put it on for the kids who come from legacy, the kids who come from backgrounds where their family has done something before them. They put it on for all of us. So yeah, that was amazing.”
Eubank fell out with his eccentric dad Chris Sr after trying to walk his own path in the sport.
But the two emotionally reconciled on the night of his fight with Benn – which helped inspire the iconic victory.
Eubank Sr never wanted his son to follow in his footsteps – and infamously banned him until Lennox Lewis helped convince him otherwise.
Reality TV cameras captured the moment Lewis talked Eubank Sr into allowing his 13-year-old son to box – paving the way for Jr’s career.

Ali Walsh had a similar fight on his hands with his parents – and revealed it was his grandad who helped get him the green light.
He said: “My situation was a lot like that where I was trying to convince my parents.
“My grandfather was on board 100 per cent from the start, but I was trying to convince my parents to get on board.”
Ali Walsh is now 15 fights into his career since turning professional in 2021, winning 12 times, losing twice with one no-contest.
As an amateur, he had 30 bouts and tried to keep his surname a secret until Mike Tyson showed up to one of his fights and blew his cover.
Ali Walsh returned with victory in Guinea against Ebenezer Sowah in May after a shock loss to Juan Carlos Guerra Jr in February.
The middleweight has twice fought in Africa – 50 years after his grandfather’s famous Rumble in The Jungle win against George Foreman in Congo.
Ali fought all around the world, including England and now Ali Walsh is desperate to do the same.
He said: “Let me tell you something, if I fight in the UK, if I get told that I’m fighting in the UK, that would change my life.
“That’s the one place on earth I’ve always wanted to fight. Seriously, London or anywhere in the UK.
“The boxing fans in the UK are better than anywhere on Earth. They’re better than here in Vegas and Vegas is the capital of the world for boxing but I would love to fight there.”

WITH summer getting into full swing you might be dreaming of rolling down a soft-top and feeling the wind in your hair but you think it’s a pipedream – or maybe it’s not.
While convertibles are seen as a luxury they can still be affordable – here are the best affordable convertibles on the market.
The so-called ‘cool’ BMW, has a snazzy exterior look while being a practical car with room for four inside.
The BMW Series 6 can be picked up at a reasonable £5000 second hand which is far more obtainable than when it was first released.
The car is a fantastic long-range car due to its comfortable interior but it is a complex car that will also come with higher fuel and maintenance costs.
One of the most instantly recognisable cars in the world, the Mini is a smash-hit with thousands of people.
Its slick and colourful exterior is matched by its welcoming interior which has a lot of room for a compact car.
The convertible can be picked up for as little as £2000 while more expensive models are available that have an engine that packs a little more punch.
The Mazda MX-5 is one of the most sought after convertibles on the market.
Available from £2000, the MX-5 is loved by many for the driving experience it provides along with rear-wheel drive and an easy to use roof mechanism.
Due to its popularity, there are plenty of MX-5’s available including newer models which range between £2000 and £5000.
The Audi TT Roadster was revolutionary when it was first released 25 years ago both for its look and the technology it introduced.
This option comes in around £2000 despite it still looking fantastic in 2025 as well as the luxury materials used in building the interior.
Ideal for inner-city driving due to its compact style, the Fiat 500c combines a cute look with practicality.
Priced at around £2300, this car is one of the cheapest on the list to insure and run on a daily basis.
While the roof doesn’t pack away completely, it still performs the convertible element adequately.
While Volvo is known for producing SUVs and family cars, they have also produced a convertible that is very affordable.
The C70 can be found for as little as £1700 and is designed by the Swedish manufacturer to be as refined and comfortable as possible.
It must be noted that the C70 is a metal-folding hard-top rather than soft-top and should be evaluated that it operates properly before purchasing.
Arguably the most impressive on the list, simply by the name alone, the Boxter’s performance is one of the best on the list.
Unlike newer models which will set you back at least £60,000, a second hand Boxter comes in at £10,000.
Due to it being a high performance car, the maintenance and fuel costs will be higher with this one.
The smallest of convertibles that Mercedes offers but it is packed with loads of great features like a clever metal-folding roof.
The SLK at its cheapest can be found for £1500 but this would be for a first-generation model.
For the newer, more modern and comfortable second-generation edition, you would expect to pay £6500 for one in good condition and a reasonable mileage.
While the 207CC might not win the award for the fastest or highest performance on the list, it would win being one of the most cost-efficient.
Prices range between £1500 and £3000 depending on how used the vehicle is.
It’s available with a range of efficient engines and because it’s based around the same design as the standard Peugeot 207 hatchback making it cheap and easy to run.
The Eos is basically a VW Golf with the roof cut off.
The folding metal roof also incorporates a sunroof, so you can still get a better view of the sky even when you don’t fancy having the roof entirely lowered.
Prices for a good condition Eos start around £3000.
