Something that I can buy online or in a store easily.

Using a 45w bulb and connector/ wiring seems like more work.
 
Whats your actual requirement?
If you simply want to test all mains 3 pin plugs for grounding then even a basic spike guard does the job.

The bulb and wire thing is the most cost-effective vfm and a basic thing every electrician depends on..

Check this-
 
Just use something like allout, mobile charger or something with 2 pin and plug it sideways. One prong in earthing hole and the other into a live hole.

If it works the your earthing is good.

I'm pretty sure the plug won't fit into the socket that way without a lot of force.

@BRUT You can use a multimeter and measure the voltages between:
  • Live & Neutral = LN
  • Live & Earth = LE
  • Earth & Neutral = EN
If LE - LN + EN is more than 2V your earthing is faulty.

Also ensure that the switch is connected to Live wire only.
