Moonshine? I assume your saying 25 gallon jugs? not 2 and half? Are these glass or plastic?

Turn it into a cute "spare change" holder :)

It sounds like you are talking about a water cooler bottle. Here are some ideas: make a terrarium or a strawberry planter, a cool light fixture, a lamp, a large self watering plant container, or even a large cloche in your garden

If they have lids I would fill some of them with water and store for an emergency.

Fill them with different levels of water, then freeze. Use them as kettle balls to exercise.

I would use them as watering cans. The ones I have outside always get gunky or filled with spiders...ick.
