4E Cantrips for Wizards can add great spice to your character. Playing a wizard in the past, I would typically conserve all spells at all times, thus lowly 0th level spells often went unused for fear of wasting them. With 4E and at will cantrips, your imagination is the only limiting factor to the interesting twist you can provide your character.

Some ideas (please feel free to add your own)
Ghost Sound
- Never speak, communicate only with this power
- Communicate with the nearby wildlife, the cool thing is those squirrels always agree with you (if you are really tricky, give the DM some notes about what you want the squirrel to say ahead of time)
- Squirrels not cool enough, make an illusion of a mouth on a stone wall and talk with it
- Allow the steak the drunk patron next to you is eating to start pleading for it's freedom
- Embarrass rivals with all manor of sounds (I thought Lord Bathen had better manners)
Mage Hand
- Hold your orb implement hovering in front of you, grasp and wield only when needed
- Never hold your utensils, always animate them to feed you
- Embarrass rivals by shifting the food on their plate as they try to eat it
Prestidigitation
- Make your hair smoke, blaze with fire, change color, or any other visual effect you can think of
- Make your eyes crackle with energy, become totally black, make them look like cat eyes, or any other visual effect you can dream up
- Always be presentable, clean your cloths and give yourself nice smell. This can really set you apart from the crowd when your friends are covered with gore and muck
- Have your footsteps behind you glow, smoke, burn, or have the plant life beneath them burst into life / wither into decay
- Always light the camp fire
- Fall in a lake, dry yourself off
- Always enjoy a cup of hot tea or coffee
