I've seen cross-stich and needlepoint kits at dollar stores like Dollar Tree also, as well as rubber stamp supplies, sewing kits, candlemaking kits, and scrapbooking supplies.

I nearly forgot....I DO use the cheap thread (tiny spools from those sewing kits)for stuff like hand-basting or to transfer markings (dots, darts) from my patterns. I have yet to find a marking pen or pencil that really does the job for me, so I go for the old fashioned method!
That way I'm not using up my good thread on things that'll get ripped out in the end.

The marbles might be good for making wire wrapped marble necklaces. Or you could even get some tile grout and use them to make mosaic projects such as planters.
Old clothes can be reconstructed into new garments, toys, stuffed animals, etc.
Beer bottle caps are great for making into resin pendants and you can also incorporate the glitter. The caps can also be used for making funky sculptures and art, adorning mirrors or picture frames or attaching to belts.
Altoids tins have loads of purposes, too. Mini shrines, dwarf pocketbooks (hey cover them with glitter!), holders for small office supplies, Ipod covers, sewing kits, etc.
