Any advice on which toys Syrians usually like? Marti seems to ignore most of her toys and I'm worried that she'll get bored.
Every Syrian is going to be different in which toys they like. In all the Syrians I've owned, each have liked different things.

Remi loved simple things, cardboard and her wheel were her all time favorite toys
Chance loved wooden chews (odd ham, I know) so I'd buy him a huge variety of those
Spider's favorite thing to do was burrow, so I added in lots of bedding
Duncan loves all things straw. Straw huts, straw bundles, and straw balls

I'd recommend buying a variety of toys for your hamster until you find what she likes. Buying cork, seagrass, Timothy, bamboo, loofah, and cholla tunnels will all provide chewing, hiding, and climbing areas. Popsicle/lolli stick platforms or premade platforms are also great things to add. A variety of chews like apple, willow, and pine sticks as well as chew blocks/shapes and whimzees are all excellent things to have in your cage. Add lots of deep bedding to see if she's a burrower. Lastly, you can absolutely never go wrong with just a plain old cardboard box
