From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
bells and whistles
(By analogy with the "toyboxes" on theatre organs).
Features added to a program or system to make it more
flavourful from a hacker's point of view, without
necessarily adding to its utility for its primary function.
Distinguished from chrome, which is intended to attract
users. "Now that we've got the basic program working, let's
go back and add some bells and whistles." No one seems to
know what distinguishes a bell from a whistle.
