Spending your money on life’s necessities is, honestly, a buzzkill. As much as we’d like to tell ourselves otherwise, a $600 hair styler and a pink foldable treadmill aren’t necessarily living essentials. Right now, though, we’re here to talk about unnecessary necessities because we all deserve little treats!
Basically, unnecessary necessities are those little treats that are not essential to daily life like a vacuum, nor are they useful purchases like fall jackets. Unnecessary necessities are those random gadgets and gizmos that you see on TikTok — like a banana-shaped banana slicer — that seem ridiculous but actually make your life so much easier.
When it comes to unnecessary necessities, Amazon is the Beyoncé of the group. There are millions upon zillions of little unnecessary necessities for under $15. I mean, where else could you find these little gadgets and then go on a long gadget-shopping adventure?
To get you started on your gadget-shopping adventure, we rounded up the best unnecessary necessities on Amazon to make your life easier. Little treats for all!
