Can you help me find the best magic items to outfit a thief?

I'm looking for anything, especially consumables, that would help a master thief for levels 10 and below. Uncommon items are fine. I'd love to hear your crazy suggestions!

Aside from the basic Thieve's Tools...

  • Keymaking Tools
  • Oozepick
  • Quicksilver Mutagen
  • Scrolls and/or Magic Wands of Invisibility and Knock
  • Sneaky Key
  • Skeleton Key
  • Vaultbreaker's Harness

    Feather Token (Chest) - A key in your pocket is not where the guards will expect you to have stashed the loot.

    Shortbread Spy - A silly way to scout a place out

    The single best item for this (IMO) is the Insistent Door Knocker.

    Who needs to pick a lock or sneak into a place when you can carry a bag of holding full of these things and use them to open doors in walls that people wouldn't expect you to be capable of doing. Carry 10 or so of the lowest level version with you, because while the item bonus to thievery checks to open a door sounds good, the real benefit of this item is opening a door that wasn't even there to begin with.

    Also sleeves of storage make a great hiding spot that people wont expect.

    And there's also a pouch (can't remember the name) that has a regular and extradimensional storage space and you can change which one it opens to.

    "Please show me the contents of your pouch."
    "Sure thing"
    *shows pouch filled with mundane and non-valuable items*
    *guard eyes you suspiciously but has no grounds to go further*
    "Move along" *begrudgingly*

    Pathfinder's Pouch


    Yeah, that's the one.


    You can get invisibility and/or greater invisibility with the armor rune invisibility and cloak of elvenkind (with boots, you get an additional activation).

    The Legerdemain Handkerchief seems useful for transporting small, stolen items like jewelry.
