A friend of mine has some framed in his bathroom. He got several that were in the same family, laid them out so the top left corner was the lightest shade, the bottom right corner was the darkest, and put them in a mat and framed them. It looks really good.

Depending on what size and shape they are, you could make a mosaic with them. Use them as is or cut them up into tiny squares and Mod Podge them onto something- table, mirror, etc.

I have a tutorial for a passport cover made of paint swatches in a craft book. you can cut them into strips and weave them together, that's the basis of the project.
