12 Drummers Drumming?

I'm doing the 12 Days of Christmas for my boyfriend to lead up to Christmas - here's what I've come up with so far:

(12 drummers drumming) - 12 DumDums dumping [out of a toy dump truck]

(11 pipers piping) - 11 Pop Rocks popping

(10 lords a-leaping) - 10 bucks for keeping

(9 ladies dancing) - 9 cards for chancing [9 lottery tickets]

(8 maids a-milking) - 8 Duds a-milking [8 mini boxes of Milk Duds]

(7 swans a-swimming) - 7 pops for sipping [he loves Dr. Pepper!]

(6 geese a-laying) - 6 games for playing

(5 golden rings) - 5 gold cookies

(4 calling birds) - 4 crunchy Nerds [candy]

(3 french hens) - 3 new pens

(2 turtle doves) - 2 toasty gloves

(and a partridge in a pear tree) - and a shiny new BlackBerry!

I'm not super crazy about #12 (especially since I can't find a toy dump truck anywhere!) - Do you have any alternative ideas for this one? Please feel free to leave suggestions for the other ones too! Thanks! :-)

Update:

I have tried Wal-Mart, Target, dollar stores, drug stores, grocery stores, etc. to find a truck. The only one I've found was at Wal-Mart and it was a little pricier than I'd like for something like this. It's just going to be used as a prop so I don't want to spend more than a couple dollars on it if I'm going to go with the truck idea.
