Tie a ribbon around a cluster of them. They'd make great seasonal centerpiece decor by adding some greenery!

I would glue them onto an inexpensive pot for a cool outdoor centerpiece.

I stacked some in a fireplace I do not use. Looks like I am always ready to start a fire.

You can also use a hole saw and cut part way thru some and add little battey operated tea lights into the holes, (don't drill all the way thru) and let the candles come on each day with the ones with the timers. Looks like the logs are burning.

Drill holes the size of a candle and insert candle in holes and add flowers for spring look or green pine for Christmas look.

Drill a large hole using a spade drill bit and add succulents to them for your flowerbeds
