Accessory help

My first proper telescope arrived today, so when it comes to Astronomy I'm quite new and clueless about a lot of things.
So tonight I took it out to the backyard and tried to have a look at what I could see. I own a 12" dobsonian, and it came with 2 eyepieces, one of which is a 25mm which is good for general looking-for-stuff and a 10mm which is decent for lunar detail.
But the problem is that I'm wanting to see more but I have no idea what to get to help me out.
I know I need a laser Collimator for lens alignment, but what eyepieces should I get to see planetary details for Saturn and Jupiter? Should I also get certain filters?
