Recycling Hair conditioner tubs

Anyone got any ideas as to what I could do with old(clean and washed) hair conditioner tubs. I seem to have developed a fetish for saving up those tubs that hair conditioner comes in, there are all sorts of sizes and colours- some quite pretty! and I cannot seem to stop so would appreciate any sensible suggestions thank you :confused:

    Use them for keeping little trinkets/hair clips together?

    You could ask local schools and pre schools if they want them .. we use pretty tubs in both craft activities and to fill with toiletries, for fairs and fetes

    If they are the right size/shape cut the tops off and make holes in the bottom and use to start seeds off, if they don`t look the part in the garden paint the outside with yogurt so that algae grows on them and they will blend in perfectly as home made plant pots. Herbs would look pretty in them.
