Stick them on oranges and put a string in one of the pins to hang it for a fresh orange and anise scent in your household. It is nice to add to teas. Also good to add alittle of to spice cakes, cupcakes, etc. Can be chewed for a breath freshener. Also good in fruit capotes, liquers (anisette and pernod), chinese dishes and in dishes where you slow merinate meat like fish, lamb and beef. Also in some Vietnamese and Malaysian recipes. Here is a link for many anise recipes:

Hi O-lady.
If all else fails, you can share them with family and friends or donate some of them to shelters and such. I love anise!! Yum.

Oh don't worry about the sharing it's been sent to any family member who wants it even cross country. Our food kitchen (the only one in area as we are rural) had no use for it. :( Now it's a challenge though to find new uses.
