treats
Handles or rewards
Treats are pleasurable things given as rewards or indulgences—candy for children, biscuits for dogs, or small luxuries for oneself: I brought treats for the office.
To treat someone is to provide them with something enjoyable, often at your expense: Let me treat you to dinner.
A treat can also be an unexpected pleasure: Seeing her was a real treat.
To treat something is to handle or deal with it in a particular way: He treated the matter seriously.
Medical treatment addresses illness or injury; chemical treatment processes materials.
