Tchotchke: The Little Collectibles That Carry Value

Tchotchke (Chot-skee) is a Yiddish word that means trinket. It is a small decorative item used for aesthetic purposes. Some of these tiny pieces can also hold sentimental value. Tchotchke can be a keepsake, a souvenir, a vintage object, or simply an inexpensive knickknack. It can be in the form of small figurines, miniature furniture, magnets, keychains, snow globes, or candle holders. These quirky little pieces can be used throughout the house, in the kitchen, entryways, patios, and more to add character and a whimsical touch to the space. They can be used in the office to offer a personal touch to the place. They are commonly used in restaurants, spas, and boutique hotels to create visual interest and make the space warm and inviting.
