One goofy quip to a player asking about magics items for the current group of PCs and I came up with this.
It isn't complete, but then it isn't particularly serious. Anyone who has suggestions for costs and filling in the rest of the entries is welcome to add to it.
Lore
The Tools of Attitude Changing were created by the legendary bard Jimmy the Buffetter while shipwrecked on the Isle of Dread. After several failed attempts to escape he gave up on the other castaways and embraced the local lifestyle. Eventually they were able to return home when the artificer in the group managed to repair their boat. Since then many other bards and wastrels more interested in kicking and back and chilling than further optimization have made additional sets of the Tools of Attitude Changing.
FRONT PORCH SWING OF WASTING AWAY
Price (Item Level): XX,000 gp (Xth)
Body Slot: none
CL: XXth
Aura: Strength; (DC XX) type
Activation: None or full round (use)
Weight: 20 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
Despite the worn wood and flaking paint, this porch swing is amazing comfortable for sitting and relaxing.
A front porch swing of wasting away must be installed on a porch or similar structure attached to a building in order to function. Anyone sitting on the front porch swing of wasting away gains a +4 insight bonus to Spot checks to see people walking around. This bonus increases to +8 if they are foreigners, and to +12 if the local temperature is hot (as per environmental effects).
Anyone sitting on the front porch swing of wasting away for more than one round must make a Will save DC 10 or use a full round action to use any of the parts of the Tools of Attitude Changing. This DC increases by 2 for every Tool of Attitude Changing used in addition to the front porch swing of wasting away.
SIX STRING OF STRUMMING
Price (Item Level): XX,000 gp (Xth)
Body Slot: held
CL: XXth
Aura: Strength; (DC XX) type
Activation: Action (type)
Weight: 2 lbs.
DESCRIPTION
This musical instrument is perfectly sized for sitting and strumming on a front porch swing.
Anyone using a six string of strumming gains a +2 competence bonus to perform (stringed instrument) checks. This becomes a +4 insight bonus when seated on a front porch swing of wasting away.
Playing the six string of strumming affects everyone within 60' feet as per the inhibit spell (Will save DC 11, DC 10 + Cha if used by a bard or character with another Tool of Attitude Changing). This may be suppressed by the owner with a DC 15 Perform (stringed instruments) check.
If the inhibit aura is suppressed, the six string of strumming may be used to cast crushing despair or good hope. This requires a DC 10 Perform (stringed instruments) check. This may be done multiple times per day, but the DC increases by 5 for each additional set or encore played.
TATTOO OF BEAUTY

Body Slot: none (worn)

A tattoo of beauty provides a +4 luck bonus to Charisma checks.
If you have any other Tool of Attitude Changing, once per month you may call on the tattoo for assistance in the form of a firre eladrin, as if you had used the planar ally spell. You must pay the firre with a night of partying, and you must accept responsibility for your actions and not blame them on the firre.

Flip flops of cruising are vulnerable to pop tops and other sharp objects on the ground such as caltrops. Any such items will blow out the flip flops of cruising, causing normal damage as per the effect. However, any movement penalty will be negated until the user manages to return home.
