In Australia all the ball style things you hang from the tree are definitely baubles, other hanging things are mostly still baubles, candy canes are candy canes and tree toppers are tree toppers varying between stars, angels, and anything else for the non-religious
When I say bauble I’m always referring to one of two things:
A mock scepter carried by a court jester.
A trifling piece of finery; a gewgaw; that which is gay and showy without real value; a cheap, showy plaything.
