baubles
Decorative little nothings
Baubles are small, showy ornaments of little value—trinkets, cheap jewelry, decorative objects that catch the eye without being precious: The Christmas tree was covered in baubles.
The word often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting something flashy but worthless: He dismissed the awards as mere baubles.
In British usage, baubles commonly refers to spherical Christmas tree ornaments.
