The Minish Cap: A leprechaun’s shillelagh.

A leprechaun’s shillelagh

Cane of Pacci: The cane is found while exploring the Cave of Flames. The bolts of energy flung by the cane flip objects upside down which can be helpful when dealing with carts that need to be emptied or well-armored enemies. The cane also uses its inversion magic to turn holes into trampolines. Instead of falling into a hole, the effect of the hole is flipped and it becomes a bounce platform. 

This walking stick makes its bearer magically lucky by stealing luck away from nearby folk, leaving them to suffer more of life’s little mischiefs. It doesn’t take long for people to realize the fellow with the stick is too lucky by far and deserves some evening out. This chaotic bit of magic was woven by a leprechaun who wanted to make sure that if their shillelagh was ever taken, it would cause enough mischief to find its way back home. 

----------

There are plenty of magic sticks to choose from in the greater fairy tale and folk story canon, but I think the shillelagh is the perfect balance between mundane and magical that typifies fairy tales instead of general fantasy.
