What's not to love about the Grilled Cheesus sandwich press? It's like every grilled cheese sandwich you make from now on can be its own little miracle because the face of Jesus appears!
I kid, of course, but I am sort of in love with this sandwich maker. I'm not one to go crazy with unnecessary housewares, especially since space is at a premium in my city-sized apartment, I do sometimes indulge in the random gadget–and I wouldn't mind owning this little kitschy kitchen appliance.

All religious connotations aside, you have to admit it's a good conversation starter. Here are five other totally useless, but oh-so-cool tools that I know I don't really need…I just want to own!

Asparagus Peeler
It’s the epitome of unnecessary. In actuality, you only really need to peel the bottom stalky part of the asparagus–the part you might as well cut off anyways. But I do have a potato peeler passed down from my mom, so this tool just makes a set!
Avocado knife
I know I probably already own this. It’s called a knife. But I do love guacamole and pitting the avocado with a regular knife is a little dangerous when you’re a klutz, like me. But not with this knife!
Homo Sapien kitchen tool
The manufacturers claim this tool does it all–sharpen knives, crush garlic, grind herbs. My abuela had one of these in her kitchen in Colombia–it was called a rock. Just a straight-up river rock. Okay, let's call this the upscale, designy version of my grandma’s rock…and I might be willing to spend almost $60 bucks on it.
Quesadilla maker
Any self-respecting Latina could totally put cheese between two tortillas and pop it into a pan on the stove. I admit, this machine is a waste of space. And yet, it’s cute, red, and will totally match my kitchen décor. Sold!
Saltbox
I’ve never understood the use of these salt boxes. Do you actually put salt and pepper in them? Again, I’m a spaz, do I really want to have open containers of salt on my counter? Imagine the bad luck if I spilled the whole thing. I CAN, however, think of so many other uses for this cute box, which is Rachael Ray's version: Jewelry holder. Hair clip organizer. Pretty decoration on my bookshelf (sorry, hubby Chris, useless boxes are so chic!).
