They will probably go to charity, but does anyone have a more imaginative idea?

You can make an ace skirt out of them, Stitch them together at the sides from top to bottom, small thin end at the top, big wide end at the bottom!

Depending on the designs of the ties, you could make a really cool skirt by sewing all the ties together by their edges length-wise. Obviously, you'd have to cut the ties (they're pretty long and too skinny on one end) and use something as a waist band (a couple of the ties could work for that too, just open them up and use two or three to line around the top of the skirt).
You could use the same idea to make a purse, but you would probably have to use another material as well as a liner.
Good luck!

What's wrong with giving them to charity? Then you're not only helping others less fortunate than yourself, but also the Charity will be grateful for the money they'll get from selling them.

Spiritual: Make a Tibetan Budhist prayer line
Smutty: Tie him down with them and get one last "favour"
Vengeful: Tie him down with them and then leave him naked and tied
Vindictive: Keep tabs on him and when he brings a new girl back, knock on the door to return the tie he left at your place last night
Childish: Tie them together and then tie one end round his door handle and the other round a fixed/ heavy object so he can't open his door
Scatty: Fashion a costume from them and parade at public venues
Scary: Start dressing up as him and turn up at his place of work claiming to be him
Artistic: Decorate a local statue/ landmark with them (e.g. Lord Nelson on his column/ Angel of the North)
Eccentric: Buy a poodle, dress the dog in the tie and use as a leash
Bitchy: Offer to trade for copies of the Big Issue
Glamrock: Wear round head, wrist and knee with tight jeans and big hair
Charitable: Yeah, you could just take them down to Oxfam.

Maybe if you are creative and good at sewing you could turn them into little stuffed animals or toys. Do you have a craft shop nearby where you could pick up a pattern, stuffing, eyes, noses, whiskers etc? Just an idea...

At the State Fair exhibition, someone had made a skirt of ties sewn together, side by side.

Is your partner still living? If so, make the ties into a hot air balloon. If not, well my condolences and better make it into a blanket instead.
