Can anyone help me to find items that give a bonus to Bluff?

All books are allowed, and the DM is also open to 3.0 or Pathfinder material, pending his approval, of course.

An Eternal Wand (MIC) of Glibness (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/glibness.htm) can be used 2/day, and anyone capable of casting arcane spells can activate it, regardless of whether or not that's on their class spell list.

Anything that boosts Charisma, of course.

The circlet of persuasion (SRD) also gives a +3 bonus to all Charisma-based checks (effectively like +6 Charisma, but not).

The mask of lies (Magic Item Compendium) gives a +5 competence bonus to Bluff checks, as do some other items in that book.

A Wink Brooch (MIC, 600gp) gives a +2 competence bonus to diplomacy or bluff 3 times per day.

Feycraft armor (500 GP, DMGII) gives a +1 untyped bonus to any Bluff check involving words (not feinting). If you consider different pieces of armor to be different sources, you could stack chain shirt/dastana/chahar-aina/multiple bucklers on yourself.

Veil of allure (~12kish?) -- +2 or 3 to cha based checks. Core
Admiral's bi/tricorne (60kish) --+5 to charisma checks + other benefits. Not sure on the source on that one, but i'll bet you can find it.

You could probably also have a custom wondrous item made. According to the rules for custom wondrous items, Hats are for interaction. A hat of smooth talking?

Custom item of glibness would be CL (7) x spell level (3) x 2000 =42000 for continuous use.

1/day (lasts 70 minutes), divide by 5 = 8400 gp.

Of course, you'd have to find a Bard with the craft wondrous item feat. That would not be common.

Stormwrack. 51000 gp. But it also give +5 to profession sailor checks, and give your allies a +2 morale bonus to attack, damage and saves, as I recall.

Don't forget about a masterwork tool (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/goodsAndServices.htm#toolMasterwork), for 50 gp it adds a +2 bonus to the intended skill check.

Pay close attention to the type of bonus the item provides. Bonuses of the same type don't stack. So if you have a Mask of Lies (+5 competence bonus) you won't get any additional bonus to your Bluff from a Circlet of Persuasion (+3 competence bonus), Wink Brooch (+2 competence bonus), or Amulet of Wordtwisting (+2 competence bonus).

But only if you can use it in the check. Most bluff checks don't use props, and for the ones that do, it's unlikely you'll be able to use the same prop every time.
