#1: Some things just taste better cooked on a stove top or in an oven as opposed to a microwave.
So, put the stove in the time machine, and voila, true instant popcorn.

I'm guessing you're aiming for non-standard things here? In that case...
#2: Play a prank! Suspend the time machine in the air at about head height. Put a frog in the time machine, sending it forward ten minutes, then move the machine and have your friend stand there ten minutes later, so the frog lands on their head. ;D

You could be more devious than that. #3: Go back in time and get great-great-grandma. Then, on Halloween, have her pretend to rise from the grave ... or is that too much?

#4. Go forward in time until your spouse is about 85 years old. Make sure your future self is out of the house. Wait until your older spouse wakes up and tell them that the new skin cream you got works wonders.

6. Walk through a room. Get in the time machine and rewind that minute. Walk through the room again. Do it again until there are several duplicates of you all walking through the room at once, and see if anybody notices.

This is getting good. It's like you guys are creative or something.
#7: Skip the genetic engineering. Just grab some dinosaurs from the past and make your own Jurassic Park.
#8: Build a time-machine dome, put some of the dinosaurs inside, and create your own supply of petroleum.

The books I'm writing involve mages with time and space powers. The bit with walking through a room over and over was a scene where one character was trolling another character, hee hee.
#9. Go back and make sure Adolph Hitler got accepted to the art college. If he'd been accepted there, maybe he wouldn't have set his sights on world domination, you know?

I was at Dillards today with my mother-in-law. While she was shopping for a new dress, I walked just a few feet over to the jewlery section. There, in the glass case, was a gold necklace with a tiny red British phone booth. My first thought was to ask the clerk, "Does this come in blue?".
#11. If you don't give the time machine to your younger self, then at least you could set yourself up as a mysterious benefactor to your younger self. Think of all the cool gadgets you wanted when you were younger, but never got because it was too much money. Now you can leave them on the front door of your younger self's house.

But if they did, I suppose the Democrats would do the same thing, and then nothing would ever be decided in politics ... oh, wait ...

Ok, this is not part of the list, but in the Radio Adventures of Doctor Floyd the bad guy, Doctor Steve,had a nefarious plan. He tries to use his time machine to go back in time and steal famous artifacts and bring them back to the present and put them on Ebay.
This was a podcast that was very family freindly and educational to boot. wwww.doctorfloyd.com
