Trying out techniques such as shaped Bokeh should also be possible...

Yes, I've had a play with macro in the past...the odd spider, the odd coin. It is something I will be having another go at for sure.
Now, shaped bokeh - I looked at that a while back, but never really got it to work. That's definitely towards the top of my (ever-expanding) list!
So, my immediate plans are:
Water drops/crowns
Smoke (when I can get some incense sticks that I can stand the smell of!)
stress patterns in plastic (using 2 polarising filters)...
plus a few more suggestions I have just been given here.
Looks like I'm set for a few days.
Will post some results...
