Suitable revision rewards

Hi,
I have a teen in Year 9. Making very sure to reward effort rather than results and set a pattern for the next few years. She's been recording hours spent on revision for the end of term exams. What is a suitable reward that could be increased with more hours on revision? She's not gone mad- only between 60 to 90 mins a day of her own time after school for the last couple of weeks but that seems to be enough for her to remember what she needs to.
Any suggestions? She wasn't that keen on cash which was my original idea. Massive YA fiction fan, more emo than anything else, likes craft but also archery/axes.

Mine would like a mini fridge full of snacks to consume while revising!

Something to do, either with you or with friends - something memorable. I think at that age, with those interests, I would have liked a trip to Camden Lock market. Or tickets to a book signing by a favourite author, or a signed book (Toppings of Ely and Goldsboro Books both good places for signed copies).

Some of my friends had very stage -managed revision schedules, others were bribed, some of us were just expected to do our best - and it didn't noticeably impact anyone's GCSE grades, the people you expected to do well, did so whether a parental carrot or stick was there or not...
