What film term is used to describe small, intriguing props that serve no obvious or practical function?

I'm stuck...

Thanks,

Indigo

But seriously, when an actor needs something to do with his hands, it's often referred to as "business", as in "I need some business to do while I'm standing at this table." Often that falls upon the propmaster to provide. I've never heard the item referred to as business, but then again, I'm not in the prop department.

Dan O'Bannon (wrote alien)reffered to them as "eye ball kickers" interesting things in the scene that had no real importance. I dont know if that's what you were talking about.
