Just about anything is available, for a price (which your colleagues may or may not be able to afford, depending on your business). Something that is likely to be disproportionately expensive in Moscow would likely be most appreciated. Items that are characteristically foreign premium brands also tend to be most welcome. Try to ascertain what is interesting/valuable to them personally, and if there is something related that is not readily available or (more likely) not affordable in Russia.
