Impromptu iPhone holder...

 For organizing cords...
 

For keeping wrapping paper from unrolling...

For wrapping small presents...

How about something a little less refined but just as fun for the kids? Make a circle or heart stamp for Valentines Day! Use the stamp to make cards and wrapping paper from newspapers!
