I usually make them into granny squares - you can use very small
bits of yarn for that. It makes for some interesting colours!

I like that idea - receiving a parcel is always nice and that decoration
would make it very special.
I wind any left over yarn into small balls leaving a long "tail. Using a
large sewing needle I then use part of that tail to sew over and over on
the different strands until the ball is quite secure and cannot unravel.
They make lovely play toys for my little cat and for various friends
animals too.
