need "thank you" ideas

DG1

It's been mad scramble time at work, and a lot of people really went above and beyond.  I'd like to do some kind of "thank you" and need ideas.

Considerations:
* It probably needs to be for the whole office (15ish people).  There were 2 people who REALLY went above and beyond.  Another 2 or 3 also went out of their way, and everyone else helped out a little bit.  I'm thinking if I only acknowledge the 2 (or 5) that the others will feel slighted.

* Budget is an issue, as this is coming out of my pocket. (so, even with onlly 5 people, a $50 target gift card is not going to happen).  I figure a $5 GC is kindof insulting.

WDYT?  cookie cake seems lame.  real cake seems lame (and we do that a lot for birthdays).

I was also going to suggest breakfast or a lunch for everyone.  We do that a lot at my office.

Butter Cookie

What about a masseuse to come in and do 15 minute chair massage?

Or pizza party is always good, if people can agree on something.

I was thinking lunch too.  Or you could do a nice fruit basket and a tray of cookies.

Pizza.

Free lunch is always appreciated - get pizza or a sandwich tray.

I think pizza or panera for lunch would nice.

i like free, plentiful breakfast.  bagels, muffins, and fruit salad + oj is awesome to see, first thing in the morning.

I like all of these ideas, but may I humbly suggest an ice cream party?

I like the breakfast idea. I sent my friend's parents a basked of treats from Wolferman's as a thank you and they loved it.

I think I'm going for a combo of hmo's and heffa's ideas.

On the hunt now for a caterer who will do an omelette station in the office.  Although it'll probably be outside of my budget, but I want an omelette station so badly I might be willing to spring for it. 

What? It's a tax-deductible client schmooze expense.
