I sorta main support and Lulu is my fav. supp thus far. It depends tbh. Early game if you're not rushing aegis my first major purchase is always Locket (usualy after sightstone) because of the nice stats (mainly survivability) it gives you early in the game; cdr, armor, hp, practice timing your active (shield) right. If you do rush Locket tell your jungler he should go Aegis instead of you, make sure you do this every time. If he doesn't get it yourself, you'll be really tanky together with other items.

On your first back always get Philo Stone but don't upgrade it early as you want to keep it for a while so you get some gold back from your initial buy, usualy I tend to really really hold back from upgrading it early on as I'm personaly more of a locket then aegis kinda person but you can upgrade it into shurelya's early on as it IS a good item (stats are great on lulu) if you're good with the active (chasing people down who got caught etc). Also if you got the early chalice you can combine it with Philo Stone and get the Mikaels but I don't recommend it unless you're very good with the active as I think it's kinda a waste if you don't use it effectively. Basicaly if you work from a Kindlegem early game (CDR, HP) it always builds into somthing which benefits her, dont forget Zeke's Herald if your AD is fed or have a couple of AD Champs on your team.

Now this is imo kinda important to remember and situational and if someone doesn't agree feel free to correct me.

If the game is going really well (you get a few kills/assists in early laning phase), consider picking up either a Chalice of Harmony or Kage's Lucky Pick. Chalice if you need the sustain and want to be really annoying in lane. fe. vs a sona/soraka who outsustains you with heals etc, you won't have to worry about running out of mana anymore which can be a problem sometimes if you don't manage it correctly (nothings worse than not having enough mana to pull of a clutch whimsy/shield/Q or wild growth). Chalice later on you can upgrade it into a Mikaels Crucible if your adc is getting cc'd or an Athenes which has alot of CDR and Lulu absolutely loves CDR and gives you MR, a boost in damage. (Consider Athenes as a luxuary Item when you're way ahead)

Kages Lucky Pick for then later to upgrade into Twin Shadows (awesome item with the active, mr, ms speed boost as lulu has prettty low base movement speed). Morellonomicon I usualy tend to pick this up if i'm snowballing hard already but only untill very late in the game, maybe 5th item and only if they have some healers on their team because of it's passive 'Grievous Wounds', again the CDR (20%) and a nice boost in damage, mana regen, just stats that work perfectly on Lulu. Lastly, WoTa, i don't buy this often but it's pretty common sense you'd only pick this up if you have lets say atleast 2 AP champs on your team as it gives them and yourself a nice boost in damage. (Consider Morello also as a luxuary item)

Mainly just try to focus on survivability & CDR, you want to cast as much spells as possible and peel for your AD as hard as you can which is imo the main strength of Lulu She's a very versatile champ, great for baiting fights/poking/beeing aggressive.

So to answer your question I guess I said every item: Locket, Shurelyas, Mikaels, Zeke's Herald, Mikaels Crucible, Twin shadows, Wota. Those are the support (aura,active) items i would get on her. I know Athenes & Morellonomicon are not support Items but those build out of philo & kages and don't forget, consider them as luxuary items and only get them untill you have fulfilled your support duties. Also Dcap as 6th item if it gets to that point is a good pick up for a nice dmg boost.

Hope this helps. Regards :D
