A necessaire is a box, often highly ornate, for miscellaneous objects such as toothpicks, tongue-scrapers, ear-picks, tweezers, powders, scent-bottles, and sewing implements. Their purpose was similar to an etui. However a necessaire was designed to sit on a dressing table, and so is usually larger than an etui which was designed to be portable.
