Thanks baconandcabbage (love your username), I hate waste so like finding more than one use for things if I can!

Well, bath crystals are essentially water softeners with scent added. I mostly think I would use them as intended to make me feel rather better! Otherwise, you could add them to rinsing water when hand-washing clothes. Theoretically they could go in a washing machine but if it is under any sort of warranty you'd invalidate it, and getting the timing right would be more bother than it's worth IMHO.
You could try layering them in a glass jar to look pretty in the bathroom (if you don't mind mixing the scents!)
When I was a child it was standard practice, if given bath salts or cubes (a common small gift) to put them in your underwear / hankie drawer to make the most of the scent before using.

Bath crystals can be used for washing your hair, leaves it really soft without needing conditioner.

Dissolve in hot water and pour onto hair, doesn't lather but will leave hair clean.

you could put them in the cistern (top of the loo) and have lovely smelling flushes...

Hi just another suggestion for body lotion is to use it when shaving instead of shaving foam.

I had several bottles of bath crystals given to me which I found odd as I no longer have a bath, but a walk-in shower :) still its the thought that counts isn't it :):)
