When I bought my iMac it came with these little things called software coupons. What purpose do they serve and why do they come with the computer. It has a little thing for my name and all, you know? But I don't know what to do with them. Could I go buy iLife '06 or something with them?

No, they are basically just proof of purchase coupons.

I think they might have to include them for legal reasons...
Basically they enable you to prove that your mac purchase included the software licences for OS X & iLife, should you ever be required to.
