Add the "tattoo" feature to the belt and headband, a +5 stat tome all stats, rod of wonder and freedom of movement to the ring.

Five PCs.
Five PCs.
Yourself plus FOUR FRIENDS, what are your other 4 items?
For realz though, I wouldn't take the big 6 or anything simimlar.
They're all things you're gonna get eventually anyway. Sure you'll start with a big boost, but that either means you stomp through the first part of the campaign (which is gonna get boring) or your GM amps up the difficulty to match you (which means the bonuses you got were meaningless in the end).
I'd take some of those items that always seemed cool, but are overpriced. They're things you normally wouldn't take because the price seems too high. Even though you might end up saving less money than you would if you take a Belt of Physical Perfection, I know I'm less likely to actually buy the fun items because it's harder to justify them in my head.
To that end I'd look HERE for some inspiration.
(I'll try to come up with a list of 5 at some point)
An airship for starters. Everything else depends heavily on which character build I'm playing.
A fun combo would be a Rod of Many Wands and three wands of maximized magic missile.

Chalk
Soap
Salt
Blanket
Another chalk
+5 Dex Tome
+5 Con Tome
Diadem of the Kineticist
Portable Hole
Vril Staff
These are the things I never end up buying for my Kineticists, the cloak, belt, amulet, and rings are things I'm just going to buy. I want to have the toys. Also a portable hole.
The 5 most expensive items, sell any i dont want and use that to equip myself.
planar keystone keyed for where you would like to set you fortress (and future kingdom) used for the next one.
this pack of cards (if you pick something bad just use command word, fail the save on purpose and then use the keystone to comeback). if gm give traits picking fortunate and try and convince gm to roll for the cards drawing (as opposed to drawing cards from a deck -so it work with the trait)
an armor that fit the character used with EVERY armor power enhancement that only cost gp (like greater energy resistance, for all 5 energies) that it can have (not including backfiring ones) and then other +10 enchantment to that (+5 and powers up to +5 more like invulnerability or something that match the character one play).
as mentioned above a splendid ring of splendid security.
Well, it depends on whether this is going to be an intentionally absurd campaign or just a case of the DM trusting you a whole bunch to not go off the rails.
If it's the former, then you want all the stuff that's mechanically strong, or just stuff that allows you to do cheesy exploits.
If it's the later, that's when things become a little more interesting. I'm going to pick stuff that, while powerful, mostly just makes things more interesting.
1-A scroll of Clone. You get one get-out-of-jail free card, as it pertains to death. This also has the amusing side effect of giving the DM license to be even more ruthless than normal. You would also be wise to keep all your non-essential gear off your person. AKA, if you have a +1 and +2 cloak of resistance, wear the +1 and keep the +2 in reserve.
2-A magic tattoo of "boots of teleportation". Keep a scroll or two of "transfer tattoo" next to your clone body once you can afford it.
3-Greater Quicken Metamagic Rod: If you're doing an AP alone, your action economy will seem insufficient at times, regardless of how smart you are about it. This serves as a panic button.
4-Instant Fortress. Or an Airship/Alchemical Dragon, depending on your taste. Apparatus of the Crab, if an Aquatic AP.
5-Something plot related. Maybe a Well of The Welcome Respite?
