Do you commonly use the Minor Properties table for magic items from the DMG page 143?
The idea is that any magic item should have some additional magical quality to make it unique. This is fitting with the 5E assumption that magic items should be relatively rare.
I like the idea of using these. But admittedly, I haven't really done it.
The list is too brief really. I've been going through my 4E adventurers vault looking for additional properties that I might apply. The frustrating thing about the 4E books is that they didn't include any tables to randomize. I agree that you should choose items that make sense in context, instead of taking one at random. But 'roll until you find one that fits' is a good approach, and sometimes the random result can spark an idea that grows into something more.

The missing index from the Dungeon Master's Guide for 5e
This index contains the magic items from the Dungeon Master's Guide grouped according to their category.
The item sheet is used by Players and Dungeon Master to view items in the campaign and by the Dungeon Master to create new items (equipment, weapons, armor, treasures etc) for use in the campaign. To open up the items dialog click the 'Items' button in the right hand menu. Players will only be able to view items which have been shared by the Dungeon Master, either via a module (such as the Player's Handbook) or directly shared in the campaign. The 5e DMG magic items that aren’t available for free – will I miss them? I’m writing a new 5e-compatible treasure generator and releasing it under the Open Game License. That means that I won’t be able to include the magic items which aren’t included in the open-content System Resource Document (SRD).

- Creating Sentient Magic Items. When you decide to make a magic item sentient, you create the item's persona in the same way you would create an NPC, with a few exceptions described here. A sentient magic item has Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You can choose the item's abilities or determine them randomly.
- Button 1: turns the rod into a Flame Tongue, a sword of fire activated by your Command Word. Button 2 and 3: turn the rod into either a magic battleaxe or a 6ft. Each weapon grants a +3 bonus to Attack and Damage rolls. Button 4: turns the rod into an adjustable climbing pole/ladder of 50 feet or less.
