tangibles

Things you touch

Tangibles are things that can be touched or physically handled—concrete objects as opposed to abstractions.

In business and accounting, tangibles are physical assets like equipment, inventory, and real estate, distinguished from intangibles like patents or goodwill: The company's tangibles were worth more than its stock price suggested.

The word emphasizes materiality and measurability.
