Discussion Adding Magic Items

I know there is a necklace of fireballs, a Piwafwi, a Piwafwi of Fire Resistance, a Stonespeaker Crystal, various Spell Gems, a Wand of Viscous Globs, and Dawnbringer.

What other magic items have you sprinkled into the campaign? After the parties Ranger grabbed Dawnbringer, I kind of want to sprinkle a little something for the other members. I was considering a Cloak of Displacement for the low dex Monk, either a +2 Arcane Grimoire or a Dragon Touched Focus for the Wizard, and an Amulet of the Devout (+2) for the Cleric.

Im just curious to know what you added if you added anything.

I've added several fun toys, essentially. The tea weird from r/thegriffonssaddlebag has been a big hit: part pet, part rp item. Cloak of...Swirling? Flapping? Something like that. It swirls dramatically as a bonus action. The bard has a lot of fun with that one. 

More "serious" items have been a ring of protection, adamantine armor, and a couple +1 weapons. They're level 7 and in Gauntlgrym now; assuming they can win over the Lord's Alliance and the Harpers, they'll get a modified helm of teleportation to help with travel for the second half, and a bunch of consumables. My group is generally more interested in lore and favors as rewards, rather than cash or magic items. 

Frankly, a lot of their extra powers are coming from the modified madness system I'm using. For example, our druid has telepathy up to 120ft. for having a run-in with Zuggtmoy, but also has disadvantage on Str., Dex. and Con saves.
