I want your job. :-)  

I dunno, for holidays and things, I'm allowed to personalize the bar I work at 
for that holiday, and my favorite thing to do is spread shiny confetti or big 
glitter sprinkles on the bar.  It gets messy by the end of the night, though.  
Or personalized cocktail napkins, with your own little message to the 
customer, can be bought at any paper design store that makes invitations and 
such.  If you have the time, you could make many colors of sugar to rim 
glasses of popular sweet, fruity drinks.  Or tea roses to go with every 
drink...and you could pin one to your outfit to link the cocktails with their 
maker.  Wow.  Now I really want your job!  ;)
