A decorated cereal box maybe? Or a nice jar/basket type thing from charity shop? Out of 6 hides my snakes currently use only 2 of them are real hides! One has a small bucket type tin, and loves it, one has a hamster trixie style house from car boot, I have a wicker jug, a fish tank ornament ship thing... etc! lol

I use cork bark, for me they are the best and most cost effective, as I have multiple snakes I buy the 5kg sacks of assorted pieces for just £25 on surrey pets. They are fantastic for hides of all sizes of snake and you can make platforms and things to climb up etc. I woudn't recomend buying individual pieces as the size of the pieces you need may cost over £10 each.

Anything they can fit in
Most of mine are in porridge boxes and fake-plant-covered tupperwear and cork bark

Have a look at things marketed for other pets and gardens etc; a nice plant pot or enclosed bird nest thing could work!
My bull snake has one of these (not sure on size!) and seems to like it; http://www.amazon.co.uk/SuperPet-Fiddle-Sticks-Tunnel-Toy/dp/B0002DJ7FO/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1339025212&sr=1-4

I have large pieces of decorative wood with fake plants over the top, they seem to like entwining the wood and peeking out of the foliage.
