Is it just me or is there an inordinate amount of items that either summon monsters or turn you into one?
That's a POTION! A really clever potion, but a POTION NONE THE LESS!
If you defined a Caster Level in the template description, do not specify a different one in the Requirements.
Item's only major power is providing a competence bonus to a skill check. *marks bingo card*
and the potion wins, because the other item was too difficult for me to understand EXACTLY what it does.

No idea what item you are speaking about, but a reminder:
Potions are specific spells-in-a-bottle. Anything else in drinkable form tends to be elixir, which happens to be established in the core rulebook to be wondrous items.
I've seen several items that require the creator to follow a certain creed. Where does this notion come from? The only precedent for this I could find were altars described in ISG (a very specific subcategory of wondrous items). All other religion-based items don't have these requirements.
A somewhat joke-ish item that primarily gives skill bonuses, but it has its charm. The other item had a somewhat interesting idea, though.

I've come across a few items that are really just a couple pre-existing items that have been sovereign glued together. I want to like the ones that have a good theme... but... I don't need an item that's just other items.
Item's flavor description benefits directly contradict part of the mechanical benefits described right below it.
vs.
Item clearly intended for Good users is crafted with definitely evil way/requirement.
Item is blatant "I didn't want to waste character resources on these things, so I made an all-in-one 'Swiss army' item that lets them pick and switch out as needed."
vs.
No formatting/template and missing required basic elements.

{sigh} My coffee lacks booze and caffeine.
So this item, I found, is so close... but clearly needed to use the preview button.

What, exactly, is 'abduration'...?

Until there's a cull or two, I'm not adding anything to my Keep list. Just like not naming infants until you're sure they'll survive.
what is the Cha penalty from back washing when you drink something, just ewwww!
Manipulating the battle map seems to be another common theme this year.
Bland item that is slightly modified from a core book with tacked on spell-in-a-can?
vs.
Not perfect but well-done item that does something mostly new in an interesting way... except it uses something from a non-allowed, non-PRD source.
Finally an item for my evil bookie character!!!
Another fairly nice item... except it uses something from a non-allowed, non-PRD source.
vs.
Generic item that is so expensive only very high-level PCs would ever encounter it or consider crafting it.
Spell-in-a-can vs. Cleric-in-a-can.
Whoop-do.
Okay, I'm going to get extra snarky about this one.
If you're going to use a word, then know how it's spelled and know what it means. Repeatedly misspelling a word in what is essentially a short paragraph? Why not drill a hole in my tooth and poke at the nerve? Don't ignore that red squiggly underline. I typed your version of the word into dictionary.com. Guess what? It suggested the correct spelling of the word for me. It was that easy. It's one thing if English isn't your first language, but everything else about your entry tells me that you're a native speaker, which means you're just being lazy.
Banshees are another common theme...
No, just no. The slayer and investigator already killed the rogue and took all his stuff. Then he was reincarnated as unchained. Stop trying to kill him again with rogue-in-cans.
I am like 60% sure, someone could get sued over that item.
Don't worry though, Your mechanics might save...
no...
no...
That's definitely copyright infringement territory there.

Why do all these items keep trying to put things inside me? I'm uncomfortable.
Item out of charges? Better add water!

Why must I wave it around?
Because unless you use metamagic, the hokey pokey has somatic components?
Ahh.. another item whose crafting value exceeds several of the River Kingdoms' GNP.
I suppose if I keep looking, I'll find an item that replicates platinum pieces. I mean, they have to pay for this somehow...
also...
Wondrous item of CAPITALIZATION. Pick ME. PICK ME!
No.
I'm starting to see mostly item's I've already seen at this point.
And somehow one of them is always that same bad joke item.
A belt that can be used as shoes, armor or conjured monster. Very impressive.
...what's even more impressive is that it was still better than its competitor.
I think I had that ghostbusters toy - I mean, wondrous item - when I was a kid.
Stone Soup was never meant to cave people's heads in.
I really liked that magic weapon until missed the landing when you specified that it's effect can be affected by a sphere of annihilation. No kidding!
