Different, Funny, One-of-a-Kind Treasures We Call Novelties

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a novelty as "a small manufactured article intended mainly for personal or household adornment." Other sources refer to items intentionally designed to serve no practical purpose, created solely for their humor or uniqueness, or simply because they're new. (The word "novelty" comes from "novel," meaning "new.") And the term has come to be used to describe a wide range of usually small items, including toys, gadgets, trinkets, games, and more.
