Please don't do pizza! LOL let employees leave a little early (if this type of job can handle that) to spend time with family/friends. (It's a Friday!)

A half day is a wonderful gift! Take the team out to lunch and pick up the tab. Even if it's just a diner. Give everyone a gift certificate. Not sure where you're located, but I hope this helps.

I second the leave-early suggestion. That time doesn't cost the company and employees will appreciate quality time with family and friends.

I agree. I’d give them the day off paid or 1/2 a day off paid. They would really appreciate the gesture and can boost morale.

I would recommend an extra day off to use whenever they would like to use it rather than an arbitrary date that may not be as beneficial to them. Cupcakes or breakfast in the office is a nice touch too.

A gift certificate would be good.
