The Best Gifts for Truck Drivers in 2025
November is here; the jack-o-lanterns and costumes have been put away. Soon it’ll be time to defrost Mariah Carey and Jimmy Stewart for their December classics and debate whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
That also means that it’s gift-giving season, and if you’re reading this, there’s probably a professional driver on your list. You’re not in the cab with them, so figuring out what they actually need can be tricky.
Not to worry. We’ve got you. Just like Transflo makes life easier for drivers with tools like Transflo Mobile+ and Telematics, we’ve pulled together a list of gifts that make their life on the road more comfortable, convenient, and fun.
(Note: All prices are current as of November 5, 2025.)
Gifts for warmth and the elements
Winter isn’t kind to drivers, whether they’re hauling cross-country or sticking to regional routes. These cozy (and practical) picks keep them warm from rest stop to route:
Zippo rechargeable hand warmer ($56.51): A toasty pocket companion that doubles as a flashlight and power bank. Who doesn’t love a multitasker?
Heated hoodies: Hoodie options with stylish, battery-powered warmth from Ororo ($99 to $199) that feel like a portable campfire. VEVOR’s pullover ($69.99) and zip-up ($79.99) offer a budget-friendly alternative.
Hi-vis raincoat ($58): Rain or shine, this keeps your driver visible and dry when they’re out checking loads or walking the yard.
Gifts for food and drink on the road
Quick food options are abundant on the road, but rising costs and nutritional needs make it infeasible to rely on truck stops and fast-food chains for a whole diet. Enter these gifts.
HOTLOGIC heated lunch box ($49.95): Plug it into a 12V outlet and you’ve got hot meals without a microwave.
BougeRV portable fridge/freezer ($160 to $207) – Keeps drinks icy and leftovers fresh, even when the nearest truck stop fridge is miles away. Fridge settings keep food anywhere from 32 to 50 degrees F, while the freezer option can ice food at as low as -8.
Stanley 40 oz Tumbler ($45): The trend that won’t quit, now available in enough colors to match any rig. Or, go classic with a Yeti 30 oz Rambler ($33.60).
Igloo branded bottles ($17.99 to $39.99): WWE? Hello Kitty? Yes, really. Hydration just got personality.
Gifts for comfort and organizing
Trucks and truck stops are far from a serene environment. These gifts bring comfort and order to the chaos:
Loop Switch 2 earplugs ($59.99): Multiple noise-canceling modes make rest stops a little more restful.
Purple Ultimate Seat Cushion ($127): Drivers, by nature, also spend a lot of time sitting down. Purple is known best for its mattresses, but it also makes seat cushions that many professional drivers swear by. Upgrade to the Level Up Bundle ($190) for additional back support.
Carhartt front seat organizer ($37.99): Staying organized is important for drivers, and while the modern cab has a fair amount of storage compartments and boxes, a trucker may want some items closer at hand.
Gifts for safety
Safety gifts probably won’t cause jaws to drop when they’re being unwrapped, but your driver will be thankful for them if they’re used. These gifts are rechargeable items that will caution others on the road of danger in a breakdown.
LED road flares ($19.99 to $199.95): These can vary significantly in price, lighting pattern, and run time. On the cheaper end, three flares are available from Amazon for $19.99. For a premium option, check out a case of six on Traffic Safety Warehouse for $199.95.
Rechargeable emergency triangles ($23.99): Foldable, battery-powered or rechargeable via micro USB, and bright enough to keep drivers safe.
Miscellaneous gifts
Let’s close out with a lightning round of gifts that didn’t fall into any of the above categories.
Truck driver stickers ($7.99): For a quick stocking stuffer, these are a bit quirky and are available on Etsy.
Personalized truck whiskey glass ($29.54): After the end of a long haul, when it’s time to toast to another safe trip.
Leather toiletry bag ($15 to $41.25): Rugged, customizable, and road-trip ready.
Crocodile Cloth heavy-duty wipes ($24.49): Because grime happens, and these can clean anything from the grille to the dashboard.
