Short-lived everyday items (8)

I believe the answer is:

ephemera

(Other definitions for ephemera that I've seen before include "Transitory things, lasting only a short time" , "Something that lasts or is useful for only a short time" , "They're soon over" , "Something transitory, lasting a day" , "of short span" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
