Speaking as a dev, the single most exciting, motivating thing one could offer me (assuming a baseline of e.g. knowing what you're doing, having a compelling mission or product, etc.) is my own office with a door that closes.
Other than that: ergonomics. Don't skimp on the chairs and keyboards. Big monitors are good but an aeron chair shows that you know what's up and give a damn. YMMV.

By the way those aeron or steelcase you can usually pick up use from a furniture liquidator. Don't go spend $1,200 on a chair when you can get one for 1/3rd of that
