C.R. England's Honored Veteran Truck by DCP Is Available for Pre-Order Today!

In 1920, Chester England kickstarted the C.R. England company with the purchase of his first Model T truck in Plain City, Utah. However, it wasn't until World War II that C.R. England's Honored Veteran Program began with Chester's sons, Gene and Bill England.

Selling their cigarette rations overseas during their service, the brothers amassed enough savings to purchase a second truck for the family business upon their return home. As part of their Honored Veteran Program, C.R. England unveils a special edition truck each year in honor of all the men and women who have fought on behalf of America.

Great Gift Ideas from New-Ray

Are you looking for a birthday present?  Going away gift?  Happy back to school idea?  How about a "just because I love you" present?

I never need a reason to buy a gift.  I don't need a special occasion or special day, I just buy them regardless.  Honestly, I like to shop year-round and hide numerous gifts in my closet, because you never know when you're going to want to give one away.

In fact, just the other day I was going through my closet and found a hot pink watch that's still waiting for an owner.  I thought of my sister, who loves anything pink and who also happened to need a casual watch.  Sure enough, I gift-wrapped it and gave it to her the next time I was at her house.

Regardless of your shopping personality, we wanted to show you some great gift ideas from the New-Ray line.  We love New-Ray for many reasons.  For one, they offer such a wide variety of items from helicopters to farm toys to trucks - the list goes on.  Secondly, they're pretty affordable and who could say that's a bad thing?  I wish I could show you the entire selection, but it's too large!  So go ahead and check it out HERE.

Riding Academy Pick-Up Truck with Horse Trailer Set

Item #SS-37115 - 1/20 scale

 This might make a good gift for your little cowboy or farmer.  It comes with more than enough to fuel their imagination: 2 figurines, 2 horses, fence panels, trailer, truck, and accessories.

Volvo VN-780 Truck - "Got Dirt"

Item #SS-14203A - 1/32 scale

Seriously, what guy doesn't like trucks?  Especially when it comes in a generous 1/32 size with these awesome graphics on the side?  This truck has free-rolling wheels, opening doors, and more!

Western Rodeo Set with Pick-Up and Trailer

Item #SS-38055 - 1/32 scale

Another great gift for your cowboy!  This one comes packed with more horses and figurines and a trailer that can carry them all!

2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 Lights and Sounds Motorcycle - 2-Piece Set

Item #01923-SET - 1/12 scale

These motorcycles come with engine sounds, front lights, rear lights, and even a bottom light.  Motorcycles are great when cars, trucks, horses, and tractors just won't do.

Remote Control Forklift with Rack Accessory

Item #87865 - 11/14 scale

Not gonna lie - I kind of want one and I'm a grown woman.  This is fun and unique because it's not your normal every day remote controlled item.  It's not a car, truck, or airplane, and maybe this would be the perfect item for someone who already has all those "normal" R/C toys.

From the team here at 3000toys.com we wish you a blessed week!  Please enjoy the rest of your Monday and visit us online any time!
