Christmas upcycle ideas for coffee cans, silk milk containers etc

I have a lot of coffee cans, silk milk cartons, creamer containers, yogurt cups etc. I am trying to make Christmas gifts. Any ideas?

Paint them and tape patterns on them, then poke holes leaving spaces between the holes. You can put flameless tea lite candles in the nonmetal containers or all of them. I think they would make nice lanterns, and you could even make sets or scenes of 3. You can freeze water in the coffee cans then use a nail and hammer to poke holes, and the others may require that too.

Take the plastic wrapping from the creamer containers. I am assuming they have a red cap. Put a red ribbon or yarn around the neck. Glue some black buttons down the front. Then fill with hot cocoa mix and mini marshmallowsfor a hot cocoa theme or fill with different nuts or anything the recipientwould enjoy. A set of three in a basketor arranged in a brightly wrapped open box would make a nice gift. Post pictures if you can.

If you can find room to store, most can be used to start seedlings for the garden, or for mini-cloches to protect newly set-out seedlings. Paint the cans with chalk paint and add a plant as a gift. Or if you have the lid, fill with cookies. Fill a Pringles can with cookies & wrap like a Christmas popper.
