The e-commerce giant is in the final stages of construction on its three gigantic spheres in downtown Seattle, overlooking its 500-foot-tall office tower. The 100-foot-tall orbs will house more than 300 plant species from around the world, and Amazon says once complete, employees will have the freedom to de-stress from the job with a walk in the gardens, or even host meetings in the orbs.
Manicube

A mobile office amenity, this two-year-old company has been invading conference rooms. Manicube provides manicure services in several markets, including S.F., Boston, NY and Chicago. The company links up with HR departments and schedules weekly recurring times that nail technicians come in. Employees can book online, so it's all cashless, making them the unofficial Uber of manicures.
