bauble
Gaudy little ornament
A bauble is a showy trinket or ornament of little value—something decorative but cheap or gaudy: costume jewelry and other baubles.
The word often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting superficiality: The award was just a bauble to him.
In British usage, baubles are the spherical ornaments hung on Christmas trees.
