googaw

gewgaw

A trinket, knick-knack, or bauble, typically one that is small and ornamental. I hope Aunt Louise doesn't give me another gewgaw for my birthday—I already have a shelf full of them! I loved visiting my grandmother when I was a child and examining all the various gewgaws she'd collected around the house. I don't know why, but I'm always drawn to the random gewgaws these souvenir shops sell.
