Gift ideas for truck drivers can be so hard to find! After all, they're solitary creatures who don't like to rely on anyone. That's why this list of gift ideas for truck drivers is so perfect! These gifts for truckers were hand picked with your asphalt cowboy in mind!

Not too long ago, our family went through a major transition as my husband Steve went back to work as an OTR truck driver. It was quite the learning experience for me as I had never even known a trucker let alone been in a relationship with one.

To be honest, it was quite hard for me to adjust to at first. But, I ultimately adjusted and when Christmas rolled around, I wanted to be sure he had a few things he not only needed, but would want and like as well.

As Christmas rolled around that year, I began looking for the best gifts (Six Dollar Family) for a truck driver I could find. After all, I want him to love his gifts, but I also want him to use them. No one wants to give a gift that ends up sitting on a shelf, right?

Cool Gifts for Truck Drivers

As I put together this list, I wanted to include gift ideas (Six Dollar Family) for truck drivers that were both functional mixed in with gifts that were fun. I’ve tried to include things that would appeal to anyone, but as I’m sure we all know already; gift giving is very personal.

These best gifts for truckers all vary in price as well. When I built the list, I tried to include things that would work as budget friendly stocking stuffers for truckers and the more expensive items that would work as main gift ideas.

In other words, I tried to give you a well-rounded list of cool gifts a for truck driver so you could buy for your driver without too much trouble.

Gift Ideas for Truck Drivers

Looking for the perfect gift idea for a truckers wife? This handmade truck driver ornament is perfect!

This Antique Upcycled Spoon Trucker Ornament is amazing! It’s beautifully made and my absolute favorite Christmas ornament on my tree! I didn’t include it on the listing because the seller frequently sells out, but I do want to mention it. It has become a staple of our Christmas decorations since the year I bought it and honestly; it’s every trucking family’s prayer during the holidays.

I addedhemp twine (Amazon) and it hung on our Christmas tree all season. You can check it out HERE if you’re interested.

The seller does sell out quite frequently because it’s such a great ornament, so just keep that in mind. If the seller is sold out, favorite it and check back later.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Truck Drivers

I am not immune to these gift ideas for truckers either. In fact. a few of these – more than I planned actually – found their way under my own Christmas tree last year. Steve loved every single one of them and I am positive your drivers will too!

What did not make it as a Christmas gift for him, was put off until his birthday. It isn’t too far after Christmas so it worked out perfectly!

THIS RoadPro 1-qt 12V slow cooker (Amazon) was his favorite. He has a microwave in his truck, but this allowed him to set his stuff to warm when he took his 30-minute break and have it ready as soon as he shut down.

Homecooked meals are the key to a happy truck driver ya’ll. I promise.

Okay, home cooked meals, a good CPM and not sitting in docks for hours, but hey, I’m only one woman here.

    -as the wife of a retired trucker of 40 years I will pray for your strength to handle the up and down times as there will be many along your journey. Over the years I have kept 2 or 3 spirals. I would send one out on each trip and collect the one he took out . In it I would write daily things that came to mind both good and not so good thoughts. I always wrote of the things that made me lonely or my frustration at having to do plluming and repair chores. Then I would thank God for helping me learn these thingss. and to keep all truckers safe. It often kep him on the straight and narrow. He said that it was good to remind him that his choice of employment was often very difficult on wife and children. My children often wrote their feelings. also good and bad. Before cell phones this made sure that each child often received their own time to get Dads call to reassure them. My gift each trip was a shirt in the laundry with his unique odor that I could sleep with, cry into, tie around my neck or put on the back of his kitchen chair.I always made sure that he knew how very much we loved him

      Thank you Sharon. It has been an adjustment for sure, but we’re making it just fine. We also do the notebook thing. In fact, in the beginning, it was that notebook that helped me pull through the loneliness. I kept one of his pillows and a flannel with me so that me and the girls would have something of his like you did. I have the pillow, they have the flannel. I’m lucky that he realizes how hard it is on us so I don’t feel the need to beat that into his head like some of my friends have had to do.

      Thanks so much for your prayers. They’re appreciated.

      What do you recommend for the trucker just starting out to have in the truck to keep him comfortable? He is spending alot of time driving up north where its cold. Id like to get him a good blanket or comforter. Any recommendations?

        Melanie, a good blanket is a great idea. Steve actually just uses 2 sherpa throws and usually does not even need to use both. As far as comfortable, I highly recommend the potty I have in the gift guide. Not all shippers and receivers have driver facilities and as embarrassing as it can be for some people, it WILL come in handy.

        Also, things to keep him occupied are always great too. Books, a small tv and game system, etc.
