Strong Handshake
+1 ST for handgrip only. May give a +1 bonus for Intimidation or appropriate social skill against "manly" N/PCs.

Those situations where you think (s)he's hot, but you can't quite put your finger on why... this would work.

You gain your money from returning lost property to its owner (pets, jewellery, etc), pawning valuable items lost by others, recycling cans, from money lost on the street, from finding an unclaimed lottery ticket, etc, etc. This works no matter what type of world/universe you find yourself in, and enables you to survive even if you would otherwise be unable to find a job due to lack of identification and/or documentation of your employment history.
Great minds think alike - I've actually allowed this on a PC with Probability Alteration power before, except we called it Moneyclip Magnet and it worked a little bit differently.

Great minds indeed. The character in question who has the perk has powers involved with quantum physics and the alteration of probabilities. Hopefully, one day I'll get to play her. :(

What's The Name of That Song?

Once per day, by humming or whistling a "catchy" song in a non-combat situation, you can temporarily disrupt others' concentration. Those around you should make a Perception roll, on a success, they lose their train of thought for the next 30 seconds. The song is up to the player, though in the modern world, "The Stars and Stripes Forever" can be especially effective ....

Lol. I like this. I'd say less than 30 seconds though, a 10 second or so confusion is still pretty effective. Perhaps a accompanying quirk would be providing little clues that never quite help ;)

Cool ability but the inabilty to take a concentration maneuver for multiple rounds is surely worth more than 1 point.

Peasant Feet - For many years you did not wear shoes. You have a thick layer of calluses of the bottom of your feet that provides DR 1* to the bottom of your feet. You do not need to wear shoes for warmth at any temperature within your comfort zone.

As others have remarked, this is WAAAAY powerful for a perk. It could put an opposing mage out of a whole combat scenario.

On the other hand, if you limit it to non-combat only, a -1 modifier on thinking and concentration for up to an hour would be okay.

Heh... bringing to mind a recollection of The Honeymooners episode "The $99,000 Answer" *G*

I've never been able to hear Suwanee River without thinking of that :)
