Absolutely. I would highly recommend a "Continue shopping" button. It's a psychological thing. If you go to buy a car they'll ask you "What kind of monthly payment are you prepared for?" You say "$200." They'll say "Up to.... ?" and chances that with 2 words they'll get you to spend an extra $50 / month on a car payment. The same holds true for your store. When they add an item to the cart, ask them if they want to continue shopping.
You can make that button go to a special offers page, or related products, or even just back to your home page. Upselling is really where you increase your margins and push up your average order.
You can also try to add a small mod that gives free shipping over $75 and then tell them "If you spend $30 more, you get free shipping."
Hope this gives you some ideas.
