    They are the seed heads of Cyclamen.

    It's cyclamen seeds ....... the stems sort of corkscrew down and deposit the round seeds around the parent plant.

    Ah brilliant, thank you!

    Im going to empty the container they are in so do I just pop them somewhere in the garden?

    Yes.  They'll probably be attached to a corm and when ripe, the "spring" uncoils and ejects the seed to spread them around.  Plant the whole corm.
