Mundane magic item that became a lifesaver.

I sense the practical joker from hell approaching.

Actually, most of the time he just used it to make himself apples (cantrips could create minor items, I can't remember the size restirctions).

The only use of note I remember was Wippit using the ring of cantrips and a ring of water breathing to scout down through a river of freezing water. Each round he used the warm cantrip to keep from freezing.

Imagine the ring of orisons he had created later on....

But, unfortunately, it was only 10 uses/day for that ring

In our 2E campaign, one of my players' female elven wizard/thief got a mop of flying (same as a broom of flying, only a mop) from one of the "Mere of Dead Men" adventures in Dungeon that became her signature magic item. We kept telling her how ridiculous she looked riding around on a mop, but she didn't care. She had a golf-bag-sized "scabbard" built to carry it around in, and even had a stock phrase she always used when she was going to ride it: "I whip it out and slap it between my legs." Despite its inherent goofiness, she did get plenty of good use out of the thing, and it even saved her life when she was thrown, half-unconscious, off the top of a wizard's tower once. Come to think of it, the player tried convincing me to let her take a special weapon proficiency in "mop" so she could wield it like a quarterstaff and slop the wet end into enemies' faces during battles.
