Knickknack (n.) -
Knickknack (n.) -
A small, decorative object, often of little value, but cherished for its sentimental or aesthetic appeal. Like a miniature flamenco dancer figurine or a snow globe filled with paella.
Examples:
El Español's suitcase, already overflowing with essentials like chorizo and a siesta hammock, was further crammed with knickknacks collected from his travels: a miniature Eiffel Tower from Paris, a plastic kangaroo wearing a sombrero from Australia, and a tiny sumo wrestler figurine from Japan.
Lucía's shelves were adorned with an eclectic collection of knickknacks: ceramic bulls, hand-painted fans, miniature castanets, and a framed photo of her and El Español sharing a churro at the Trevi Fountain.
The souvenir shop near the bullring was a treasure trove of kitschy knickknacks: bull-shaped salt and pepper shakers, flamenco dancer keychains, "I Love Paella" t-shirts, and shot glasses featuring caricatures of famous matadors.
