When it comes to describing miscellaneous or small items, there are several synonyms for the term "odds and ends." Some commonly used alternatives include bits and pieces, knickknacks, trinkets, bric-a-brac, and curios. These terms all refer to small or unimportant items that don't necessarily fit into a specific category or theme, but may hold sentimental or decorative value. Other options include flotsam and jetsam, which have a slightly negative connotation and imply a cluttered or disorganized collection of items. Regardless of which term is used, all of these synonyms describe a collection of minor things that, while perhaps not significant on their own, add character and depth to a space or collection.
