Blue Collar Worker Gift Guide
Updated: Feb 13
Blue collar workers are arguably some of the most difficult people to shop for. Often when you ask what they're looking for in a gift you might get a "nothing" or a "something practical." We've got you covered with these 10 practical and thoughtful gifts for the blue collar worker in your life.

1. Electric Heated Lunch Box
This is the perfect gift for people working on different job sites or outside with no microwave. They can have a hot lunch without taking extra time from their break to get to a drive-thru. These devices can be recharged with detachable cords or plugged directly into a car's 12V outlet. The boxes can come with compartments to keep food separate and are perfectly sized for leftover and prepped meals.

2. Wool Base Layer
Layers are a crucial addition to outdoor winter wear. Give the gift of warmth with base layers from shirts, pants and socks. These layers add extra protection in cold weather and whisk away moisture.

3. High Protein Snacks
If the receiver of your gift is known for skipping lunch to get those extra hours in and the job done, a gift bag of high protein and healthy snacks is a great way to show you care. These snacks will help give them the energy to get through the day.

4. Chilling Bandana
In the hotter months, working outdoors all day or doing any kind of consistent labor can quickly become a sweaty and energy-draining activity. A chilling bandana will help to take the sweat off their brow to keep them cool and collected.
