novelty items

Quirky gift trinkets

Novelty items are small, inexpensive objects valued for their humor, cleverness, or novelty rather than practical use: fake vomit, whoopee cushions, gag gifts, trinkets from tourist shops.

The category spans joke-shop pranks, party favors, and kitschy souvenirs.

The boardwalk was lined with shops selling novelty items and t-shirts.
