Teddy Bear of Sweet Slumber
Once per day this soft stuffed bear can be used to cast a sleep spell upon a target under 7 years of age. The slumber lasts for 8 hours or unttil the child is shaken gentley and told 'honey, it's time to get up.' The sleep is filled with pleasant dreams. The target is allowed a Wil save at DC17, except on Christmas Eve when the save DC decreases to 5.

Gerber's Everful Bag
Actually the other end of Gerber's Ever Empty Waste Receptacle.

Millard's Purse of Over Spending
No matter what the user is trying to purchase he only has 75% of the funds required.

The Snow Globe
When this small glass globe is shaken a small house in an otherwise temperate area experiences a sudden snow storm.

Floyd's Backwards Mirror Designed for use by a barber this simple silver looking glass shows the back of the viewer's head.

Stormfarer's Staff
This wooden staff can only be used by a Wizard, while dealing 2-10 points of damage regardless of the user's Strength it suffers from a -10 attack penalty. On a roll of less than 10 a random non living object within 5' of the user will be struck instead in an automatic sunder attempt.

[arscott]

the d7: This geometric impossibility resembles a normal six sided die. however when rolled, it has a 1 in 7 chance of displaying the numbers one through seven.

Ring of Ethereality: This ring is a braid of silver gold and ivory. wearing the ring makes the appropriate finger ethereal.

The lamp of too many wishes: This lamp contains a spirit that will grant wishes, as per the spell. however, every time a wish is granted, all previous wishes are undone. The undoing takes two forms, depending on the nature of the wish. Wishes for permanent changes or physical objects cause the change to revert or the object to dissapear. If a character had previously wished for a +5 sword, wounds caused by the sword remain but the sword dissapeared. However, if the wish was for some instant or limited duration event, that event's effects (both primary and secondary) are undone. So if the character wishes for lightning to strike a building, the damage caused by the lightning (and subsequent fire, if any) is undone when the wish expires. However, changes of a temporary nature "I wish I was an elf for five minutes" whose effects have already expired are not affected.

Mundrin's Soup Pot

When water is brought to boil in this copper pot it transforms into a tasty soup of the season seemingly made out of ingredients that could have been found in the vicinity. The soup is aromatic and makes people hungry, even to the point of attracting passers-by, and tastes excellent. It is not nourishing, however. After a few hours hunger returns as if those partaking had not eaten at all. Serves four.

 

[Bloodsparrow]

Chapeau du pain (hopefully I got the French right!): This fashionable hat has the distinct capability of producing a very small rabbit whenever it's wearer desires and places his hand into it. Pulling out another rabbit makes the previous one (in whatever form - still alive and present, gone missing, eaten) to instantly disappear.

I think it's "lapain".

D'oh! Looks like somebody already said that...

But I do like "Hat of Bread"... Reminds me of an interesting version of Penocio I once watched on TV...

Hat of Bread
Upon inspection, this appears to be a normal cap made of felted wool, though it does detect for alteration magic.

When somebody dons the cap, it instantly reverts into a cap-shaped loaf of bread. (Taking it off causes it to rever back to wool...But it's soooo comfy, why would you want to take it off??) The person sporting this tasty bit of fashion will be unaware of the change and must make a DC 20 will save or become convinced that this is the best - hat - ever. (Removing the hat does not remove this opinion however, and the inflicted character will want to put the hat back on asap.) The cap owner will resist attempts to convince them that it's a loaf of bread for goodness sake! (The inflicted character can make an additional save to believe anybody trying to convince them of this, but they only get one roll per day. If the save for the day is failed they will hear none of this "bread" business and insist that everybody is simply envious of their wonderful cranium accessory.)

The situation is further exasperated in that there's a 20% chance, 5 times a day, of 1d12+1 birds being attracted to the hat while it is on a person's head and in an area where birds are likely to be.

People who wear these hats tend to be loaners... Eventually.

 

[Henry]

We already had Piratecat's eye patch, why not magic items for the rest of the mods & admins?

I wouldn't mind Henry's August Ring, myself, patterned after the Ring of Tuesday.

How about the Wings of Smurfy Flying?
Or the Figurine of Wondrous Power - Onyx Dinkledog?
The Ledger of Acoing?

The powers on that last one are best left unknown, though.

 

[Henry]

Maul of the Pixies - this magical Diminutive Warhammer is +1 to hit and damage, and cuts a pixie's building time by one-half.

Sphere of Nileation - this 1 foot levitating crystalline-blue sphere acts as a small enclosed planar gate. Anyone touching it is instantly sucked to the bottom of the Nile River in Africa, in a random location.

Portable Dhole - This 1000-foot long behemoth can crush buildings, dig enormous tunnels, and send mere mortals quivering like fetal children, assuming it doesn't crush them to Jelly. It's portable because it can go any damn where it pleases.

Hand and Eye of Mike - it's Mike's Eye and Hand, that someone chopped off before he died. Quite disgusting, really.

Cloak of the Mayfly - The user donning this cloak is polymorphed into a mayfly for 24 hours. The polymorph effect cannot be prematurely dispelled.

 

[Halivar]

I can see that someone has already utilized the Staff of Thread Resurrection, also useful for when your hemline breaks.

Its counterpart, the Amulet of Zombie Thread Killing, is also useful to UNIX system admins.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

How about the Wings of Smurfy Flying?

Ask and ye shall receive.

Wings of Smurfy Flying
This appears to be a blue cape until worn. When it is worn, the cape turns white. The function of the cape is to prvide a means of flight. When a command word is spoken, the user shrinks to three feet tall and their skin turns blue. Then the cape forms a pair of white wings on the users back, allowing them to fly with average maneoverability with a fly speed of 40.

 

[Sidereal Knight]

The Neat Ring
This simple, tasteful gold ring causes the wearer to always appear tidy. Her clothes will always appear to be freshly laundered and pressed. Any signs of wear or damage will be repaired within a few rounds, and dirt simply will not stick. This effect extends to the wearer's gear, so shields, weapons, and armor appear to be well-maintained and polished. The wearer does not have to bathe, and her hair always appears freshly combed and styled.

Hand and Eye of Mike - it's Mike's Eye and Hand, that someone chopped off before he died. Quite disgusting, really.

I was wondering where those got to.
