Here's my list:
1) Hyacinth tunnel small (fits syrians and dwarf hamsters) - not easy to get hold of these days.
2) Rat sputnik - cheaper here than on Amazon. Looks like they have some new colours and some with pictures on etc
3) Trio of balls - I use the hyacinth ball in the cage and sometimes stick pumpkin seeds into it so the hamster has fun getting them out. The sisal ball I use for sisal string! I don't use the wicker one as it looks a bit scratchy but it's probably fine if you check for sharp bits
4) Coloured bendy bridge that screws to the bars. Not because it's coloured particularly (although they look fun) but because it's smooth wood and no gaps like some bendy bridges. Plus - it screws to the bars! In any shape you want. Unfortunately the seller of these only sells them as a pack with two small shelves now. The two small shelves are quite good as well - I've used them as steps before. But annoying you can't just buy two bendy bridges without the shelves. And it makes it more expensive buying the pack with the shelves.
5) Rainbow bridge - all our hamsters have liked this. Too small for syrians to go under it but they like running over it.
6) Loofah hanging toy - doesn't do a lot but adds a bit of colour and you could put treats on the flat bits
7) Carrot and hay cottage. I use this out of cage usually but sometimes in the cage pushed down a bit to make a kind of step. I freeze it for a week first in case there are any bugs in the hay! Door is a bit small for Syrians but they manage as it's open underneath - plus you can cut the door bigger as it's made of cardboard.
8) This coconut hut - the opening is a good size for Syrians - there are other makes too but some have openings that aren't quite big enough for Syrians.

9) Wood vegetable shaped nibble sticks - that have a fruity scent/flavour. Most of our hamsters have gone potty for the carrot one in particular! And they look quite colourful (and are safe to chew - Rosewood stuff usually is)
10) Fuzzbutts mini snooze cube - for out of cage use (a bit risky to put in the cage in case it gets chewed). I love these and use them for transferring a hamster from a to be as well - they just hop in and you put your hand over the entrance so they don't jump out. They like it as an out of cage hide and I use it to lift them in and out of a pet carrier as well so it's nicer for them being taken in and out of the pet carrier - it's a cosy hide. Big enough for Syrians. However it has a second door in the back seam which is fine for an out of cage toy, but if using it to carry the hamster in that second door needs nipping closed by hand (or I use a bulldog clip). I also snip off the tags and hanging d rings so nothing to get feet caught in. It's easy to put inside the cage temporarily for a hamster to walk into.

11) This Savic rat tube - for syrians mainly - either for in or out of the cage - looks lovely and well made - also longer than some other rat tubes. But not the chains - easy for a hamster to end up hanging by a broken leg - so sisal string instead of the chains.
12) Roborovski sand bath from Rodipet - this is a bit of an extravagance as any dish can be used as a sand bath but this one is great and works so well for a robo. The slight cover on it (which also stops sand flying out through bars).

. I must get one! Usually the holes aren't big enough for syrians so buyer beware with that for Syrians because if they get stuck in a hole it's a serious emergency. So check hole diameters - needs to be at least 5 to 6cm diameter for a Syrian. Rodipet and Getzoo do make logs like that with larger holes for Syrians. It's actually difficult finding stuff for Syrians sometimes - especially big chunky syrians!
