Scratching post(s) - defend the furniture early
Climbing Tree - Big French Window out back for them to look at birds
Harnesses - Get them used to them and see the garden early too
Toys - Laser pointer, balls, tunnel, ball track ?? Who knows
Water fountain - my old cats used to like running water and apparently so do MCs
Litter Kwitter - I'm going to try it, they might just take to it

What I have also read is that your breeder should tell you what exact brand of litter and food they are on and to get supplies of those to lesten the inital changes in their new environment. Then gradually introduce whatever food and litter you intend for the longer term, but allowing them to move from one to the other.
