If my son were more into trucks, like my nephew, I would host a 4x4 birthday. Instead of kids receiving a gift bag I would provide them with a Defiants 4x4 toy (includes battery) and a handheld garden shovel. Gift bags run $4+ to create and are often filled with soon to become landfill toys. Defiants 4x4 can be bought for $4 often on sale at Toys-R-Us.
My son and I made his own 4x4 track.
At a birthday party you could provide materials and a location for the kids to dig. They could make bridges and much more. I imagine this birthday, for the right enthusiast, would be a life-time memory.
Plus your gift bag is not crap.
I am part of the Stomper & Rough Riders generation and played at length with these vehicles - for hours. I remember playing like this:
You can read about Defiants here. They also have a Face Book page. The customer service is awesome.
