Belt, Monk’s
This simple rope belt, when wrapped around a character’s waist, confers great ability in unarmed combat. Any time the wearer engages in unarmed combat, the belt grants him or her the ability to use both hands as though the wearer possessed the Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting feats. The wearer may also make a stunning attack (as a monk) once per day. If donned by a monk, the belt grants one additional stunning attack per day and allows the monk to haste him or herself once per day for up to 10 consecutive rounds.
Caster Level: 12th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, haste, righteous might or transformation; Market Price: 9,000 gp; Weight: 1 lb.

3.5
Belt, Monk’s: This simple rope belt, when wrapped around a character’s waist, confers great ability in unarmed combat. The wearer’s AC and unarmed damage is treated as a monk of five levels higher. If donned by a character with the Stunning Fist feat, the belt lets her make one additional stunning attack per day. If the character is not a monk, she gains the AC and unarmed damage of a 5th-level monk. This AC bonus functions just like the monk’s AC bonus.
Moderate transmutation; CL 10th; Craft Wondrous Item, righteous might or transformation; Price 13,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

A ring, vest or belt (vest is the best choice) of enlarge person.

This 4000 gp item is cheap, and while you suffer a -2 to dex, and a -1 ac (for a total of -2 ac), you gain +1 strenght, and reach. And you can turn it on and off as a standard action.

If you are a trip monk or a grapple monk, then the size bonus only helps you in your shtick.

Monk's Tattoo's from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Sourcebook. +4 to Monk's level for determining all fighting abilities (BAB, damage dice, AC, Stun, etc)

Amulet of Wisdom. The higher the better of course.
