I got curious and put together a bowl that turned a normal pint of water into a holy water. While the construction rules deemed it should cost 9,000 gp (2,000 for a continous item of 1st level spell & caster, 2,500 in material components, doubled for being not having a body slot), I made the thing be a metal bowl set into a 60 pound rock pedestal, and kept the price at 4,500 (construction cost is 3,500 gp). Also, it wasn't instantaneous; per the spell is takes minute to create a single 'dose'.
It's well over the limit on this thread, but I thought it would be a worthwhile investment for a church seeking to aid in undead hunting. And, if the church sold holy water at the base in the book, it would only take 140 to pay for the bowl.
And just like that, barrels of holy water as catapult ammunition become viable.
Shrink item+barrel of holy water+ slingshot.

Most use-activate items (e.g. lanterns, like the lantern of revealing) don't get their price doubled for being slotless.
