The eyepieces you have now should do you for a while.
A barlow, as was mentioned will double your eyepiece range and give you more magnification.
So I'm going to suggest wide field eyepieces, 30mm or 40mm. They are great for viewing larger objects, eg Orion Nebula, Lagoon Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, and are useful for when you are hunting smaller objects, find and centre them in the wide field then change eyepieces to zoom in for a closer look.
Another must have is a pair of 10x50 binoculars, and a camera tripod to mount them on.
