For exemple, your clockwork toy could be in the shape of a hydra or hercules. I don't know if there's any database on the internet listing possible device shape as there can be so many.! PHB37 Thinker: When you create a device, choose one of the following options: Clockwork Toy. This toy is a clockwork animal, monster, or person, such as a frog, mouse, bird, dragon, or soldier. When placed on the ground, the toy moves 5 feet across the ground on each of your turns in a random direction. It makes noises as appropriate to the creature it represents. Fire Starter. The device produces a miniature flame, which you can use to light a candle, torch, or campfire. Using the device requires your action. Music Box. When opened, this music box plays a single song at a moderate volume.The box stops playing when it reaches the son g’s end or when it is closed.

Cigar snips, knife sharpeners, basic watches or timers, teasmaid, boat, bird, camera, shoelace tier, etc. If need be, make them single-use, or limited life. If your DM allows, maybe you could add some slight class enchantment to go a bit more Dr Who. Sonic screwdriver, timey-wimey locator, monster detector, and such. As for what you need to create these items, think of a gnome's toolkit as a cross between a thieves tools and a component bag.
