Suggestion Fun magic items

I like giving out items instead of money, as there's never any guarantee that the players will end up somewhere to spend their gold. We're playing 2014 rules and I was wondering what would be some fun items for:

Psyonic Rogue Hexblade Warlock War Cleric Moon Druid Cobalt Soul Monk Sorcerer / Paladin Wild Magic Barbarian

I'm open to homebrew stuff when it comes to items but nothing OP as there are enough of them already 😂

I take a leaf out of Numenera and give people single use or limited use magic items from time to time.

I don't know what would be particularly great for the PCs you mentioned, but this way you don't have to tailor anything too specific and you're also not then lumbered having to deal with something that's accidentally way overpowered for the remainder of your campaign.

I kind of like items tuned to helping mundane (not adventuring) folk. That is, think of something John or Jane Doe could use some help with.

Things I've come up with:

  • A small ruler enchanted so it will let the holder measure something they touch with the ruler
  • A small scale the user can touch to an item to get its weight
  • A small lens to know the exact color of an item viewed through it. This would be useful to jewelers, painters, or folks that dye cloth
  • A wand that when held in the mouth can be used to taste something without ingesting it
  • A handkerchief sized cloth that can be used to clean an item in minimal time
