What magic item would you want in real life?

I know, this is a purely geek topic. Feel free to make fun of my pocket protector and broken glasses, I will feebly wheeze in your general direction in reply.

One of my favorite things to do, when I was young, was to look at all the magical items listed in the 1e dungeon masters guide, and imagine which one I would want the most in real life.

Another thread on this board brought back all those fond memories, and so I think it's time to ask others.

For me, it was often the mind reading items, and the invisibility items. Flying items and healing items were also high on the list.

Which magic item would you want in real life? If you had it, what would you do with it?

Sources available for your choice are official WOTC releases only, and no artifcats allowed. And you have to personally qualify to be able to use the item (so you can't really choose most wands or staves, since their spells are not on your potential spell list). Cost, however, is no object. Which one would you want? If you had it, what would you do with it?

Anything with Teleport No Error 4/day (or more) would be perfectly acceptable. Barring that I think Crothian has hit the nail on the head The Everful Purse.
 


What source is the Everful Purse from? Oh, and I decided to change the question slightly...what would you DO with the item, if you had it in real life?

I also recall wanting a ring of charming / hat of disguise type item to charm women :) Yes, I was that kind of nerd-boy (but then, who among us was not?).
 

The Cloak of Perfection..... (From the ELH beta preview from two GenCons ago.)

High-level characters tend to have fewer items, each of which is more powerful. For example, a cloak of perfection could have the following powers: +10 armor (force); +5 resistance, deflection, and natural armor; +6 to each ability; SR 21; and damage reduction 5/+5. Its value would be a mere 1,114,000 gp, about a tenth of what a 35th-level NPC would have.
 


Ring of Human Influence...

...can't think of anything more useful.

EDIT: Nope, changed my mind. The Head of Vecna! :D
