    I don't know if this will help, but here's a few things I do for my team and some things I've received in the past.

    Bi-Weekly design challenges: This can be anything, but mostly something fun not related to work. Once I had them design their own hardhats however they wanted. Then I bought the team OMI:DIY kits. Basically anything to help keep them from being bored with work and full of creativity.

    Work from home once a week: To me this is a must for most creatives. As creatives we sometimes need a change in our environment to stay creative. Working from the park, from a coffee shop, from home, the library... wherever, it doesn't matter. My teams enjoy this the most I'd say.

    I bought an old Nintendo for the office and we'll play games over lunch every so often.

    Free food Fridays. I'll let the team choose what food they want delivered or, I'll take the team out to eat. It's great team building.

    - others -

    Free coffee/redbull

    Dart Board (the real one, not the plastic ones with the plastic darts). They typically aren't as loud as a ping pong or foosball table.

    Great office chairs. It really makes a difference.
