Girlfriend loves to bake and I sometimes get sent to work with cake, cookies, etc. everyone’s delighted when it happens! We also have a candy jar in our space, does so much for morale & well being. Snacks are the way!!
I once worked at a place that gave all employees a $50/y expense line to bring in treats for the office — snacks from vacation, cool local baked goods, etc. Such a small actual cost and created INSANE morale and community.
