What is a knick knack?

A "knick-knack" is a small, decorative object that has no real practical purpose. It's often something you collect or buy just because you like the way it looks or because it reminds you of something.

Here are some examples of knick-knacks:

* Figurines: Small statues of animals, people, or fantasy creatures.

* Vases: Decorative containers for flowers or other small items.

* Candlesticks: Holders for candles, often ornate or decorative.

* Photo frames: Frames for displaying pictures or artwork.

* Souvenirs: Small items that remind you of a place you've visited.

* Ornaments: Small decorative objects, often used to decorate a Christmas tree.

* Tchotchkes: A more informal term for knick-knacks, often referring to items that are quirky or unusual.

The term "knick-knack" is often used in a playful or even slightly derogatory way, suggesting that the items are trivial or unimportant. However, many people find joy in collecting and displaying knick-knacks, and they can add a personal touch to a home.
