nice-to-have
Not strictly necessary
Nice-to-have describes something desirable but not essential.
In project planning and product development, features get sorted into must-haves and nice-to-haves: Offline mode is a nice-to-have, not a requirement.
As a noun, it's the feature itself: We'll add the nice-to-haves if there's time in the budget.
