Are you looking for a trucker hat to surprise your loved one with? Here are a few things that should be considered during your search.

Head Size

It's important to consider the size of your loved one's head when choosing a trucker hat to surprise them with. If possible, measure the circumference of their head under the guise of fitting them for a holiday costume or snag one of the hats they already own to find out what size it is.

You can use the hat size or your measurements to determine what size hat to purchase based on the sizing chart that is provided for the new hat. This should help ensure that your loved one can actually wear the hat and decrease the chance that it will just hang on the hat rack for months or years to come.

Personality

While the design of classic trucker hats are all pretty similar, the hats do come in a wide variety of colors and materials. So take the time to really consider your loved one's personality when picking a trucker hat out for them.

If your loved one is loud, funny, and quirky, consider bright colors such as orange or yellow. If they tend to be quiet and more serious, choose something dark and mysterious like black or royal blue. Or choose a custom design that features their initials around the rim.

Maintenance

The trucker hat you buy your loved one will have to be maintained to keep it in good shape as time goes on. So make sure that you read the care instructions of any hat you consider getting before making an actual purchase decision.

Look for a hat that can be machine washed and dried and stay away from those that have to be taken to the dry cleaners. The hat should also be spot treatable so your loved one can clean a small spot away with soap and water without leaving a lasting water stain.

Return Policies

There is no reason why your loved one won't appreciate the trucker hat you surprise them with. But it's important to check out the return policies for any hats you consider buying just in case you end up getting the wrong size or your loved one wants to trade it in for a different color.

Place the return slip in the packaging with the hat before you wrap it so your loved one won't have to feel bad asking you for it if they end up wanting to return or exchange the hat before all is said and done.
