Years ago I read an article in Dragon about magic items designed to ease everyday living like the comb of untangling hair, etc.
Over the years I've given my players several magic items designed for everyday use (rather than being designed for adventuring, killing, etc). Some of them became favorites and one in particular became key to the party's adventuring style which the party named so creatively as...
The Heating Disk becomes hotter with one command word and cooler with another (no camp fire needed for cooking or staying warm and therefore no light. great for staying undetected at night/in darkness. a boon in cold environments).
Two others were the Hat of New Hairstyles and the Fan of Deodourising. The hat worked once per day and was appropriated by vain halfling who, I am surprised to say, never used it for a disguise, and the fan was great when the party had to deal with a noble after a few days travel or if someone had been sprayed with some foul substance by a monster.
What are some 'everyday' magic items you've come across in your gaming career that you loved (or hated as a DM)?
