Suggestions for wondrous items to craft?

[The Harbinger]

Hi guys,
An Uberlurker here with a question. I've got a 6th level wizard with a little money, a little time, and a hot new feat burning a hole in his robes (Craft Wonder Items)...

Any suggestions for a wondrous item to create at 6th level or thereabouts?

Also -- what are your favorite wondrous items to craft in general (regardless of costs)?

I'll hang up now and listen...

What spells do you know? They are your most severe limit in crafting wonderous items.

Me, I love one-use wonderous items. Tokens, beads, dusts, whatever, I like stuff that does cool things and yet comes cheap. That, and anything that ends with "...of Wonder".

Salutations,

I am a fan of items that give skill bonuses.

Need to search? Put on goggles that give a search bonus.

Need to be diplomatic? Put on that rose pin that gives a diplomacy bonus.

A one charge per day Alarm bell (4th level).

Cloak(s) of resistance +1, or +2

they're easy to make, relatively cheap, any everybody loves 'em!

Mmmm... craft wonderous item requires spellcaster level 3. Does that also mean that you can't make a wonderous item with less than spellcaster level 3? I recall a thread on the subject months ago, but...

Anyway, assuming that you can drop the spellcaster level to 1 if you want, an item that can cast any 0-level spell at will is relatively cheap. For 500 GP you can make yourself goggles that let you detect magic whenever you feel like it. And...

Argh. I've just had a flash of what a skilled rogue could do with an item that allows ray of frost at will.

The last one I created was a one charge per day Leomund's Tiny Hut gem.
We tend to loose our horses and equipment a lot.

In another campaign (long ago) I had created communication earrings, one for each member of the party. Nice too.

Does your PC have a theme? An ice-wizard, a charmer, a sneak, a summoner? I generally think it's fun to create items that express your PC's nature.

Before a desert adventure, I had a wizard give my PC's a "Everfull Waterskin" - they would always have something to drink in the desert.....
