Personally, I feel I have gained most experience from creating solutions to (sometimes) stupid or easy problems. Stuff to generally making my life easier.
I even built a small social network focused around dating because I didn't want to pay for the existing ones. (Needless to say, no one uses it today. :)) These kind of projects give me the most inspiration to learn new stuff and finish it.
So find something that bothers you and fix it!
