One of the simplest things I ever received from a company was a single carnation with a quick, personally written, "thank you" on the card. Everybody knew when you saw that carnation on someone's desk they were celebrating an employment anniversary. Most importantly, you knew the President of the Company knew it because that's who delivered the carnation. That was in 1990 and I remember it like it was yesterday.
How about a quick, hand written note to someone that says "job well done" - it doesn't even have to be from a boss to an employee. (Employees - how may times have YOU thanked your boss for a job well done or for their support and encouragement? Don't forget - they're people too!) So many things come at us so quickly each day that we often forget the basic courtesies of life like "please" and "thank you". Even a smile during a hectic day or in the middle of a stressful project can make a big difference.
Some other thoughts for inexpensive rewards:
An extra 1/2 hour for lunch
Lunch or breakfast with your employee(s)
Gold stars
A pat on the back (in front of their coworkers!)
The most important thing to remember with a rewards/recognition program is sincerity. The program it doesn't have to be complicated or cost an arm and a leg; it DOES need to be from the heart!
