I saw an idea on HGTV where they hung the boxes on the wall for nick nack shelves. Also, you could pad the top (pin cushion) and make fabric covered, cardboard dividers for the inside for a sewing box. Congradulations on the score, I'm jealous.

I've made tons of cigar boxes and given them as gifts. By starting with a theme, then building on it, I have come up with some interesting results. My favorite was a Wizard of Oz thesme, complete with a yellow brick road. I always decoupage, add glitter, paint, whatever strikes my fancy. The inside can be lined with anything like felt or fabric, or just painted.
