You can paint them and hang them upside down and make bells out of them. I did something similar but with galvanized buckets.
They are a great container for ear buds, no tangled cords.
You can make a spare change holder.
Fill with small candies, add contact paper, and gift.
You can recycle them. See if the pharmacy will take them back.
