I consume a lot of young coconuts and have saved the cleaned out shells ... complete with 'lids'. Any ideas on how to repurpose them?

Shave a hair off the bottom and use them as an outdoor candle for that exotic feel on a warm summer night, maybe a tea light!

  You could put sand in it and then the tealight to raise it up a bit. You could put three shells like this as a centerpiece too. If they hold water, you could even use floating candles in them. If you have lots of them, you could use them as a border along plants outdoors.
