Physical props that are shipped with the games to strengthen the game experience.
Games are typically designed to provide a certain type of experience regarding the game world or gameplay. One way this can be supported outside the game itself is through various props, Feelies, shipped with the games.
Wikipedia has a page describing feelies and GiantBomb has a list of games with Feelies.
