I got bored the other and made a text file containing the console commands to add one of an item with every enchantment (well, not the unique items, just the normally-encountered ones) for disenchanting, so I don't have to go looking for stuff when I decide to level enchanting.
It'd be pretty easy to assemble a "basic gear kit" like that, and would work especially well if you wanted to start your character somewhere other than Helgen (this is possible with changes to one of the .ini files) with custom supplies. With a couple of new characters I've given them a few starter items (mostly jewelry... an Amulet of Dibella and Necklace of Haggling, maybe a Smithing or Alchemy one as well, depending) and I don't think this seriously broke anything for me, since I don't much get excited over loot anyway.
I don't bother with the secret room, though. It's much faster to look up the codes for whatever you want to give yourself and be done with it, rather than rummaging through containers.
