Scarves are about perfect for two skeins.

Rib and stripe scarf from Vogue Knitting: Scarves Two uses two skeins of Noro Kureyon in an interesting way.

Sarah Peasley explains in her April 4, 2004 entry a good way to make sure you get the most out of your two skeins: work some kind of pattern - she suggests lace - for about a foot, then switch to stocking stitch until the first skein runs out.
