Lolly Buffet Jars
Hiring vs. Buying Lolly Jars
Sweet as your treats! Lolly jars are one way to make sure your lolly buffet will stand out and your guests will have a great time on your special occasion.
Candy buffet jars not only offer special treats of colourful candy, they also add style and elegance. Whether to hire or buy is a personal choice but we are here to help you compare the benefits!
Benefits of Hiring Candy Jars
There are some fantastic companies out there that will hire you their jars at a very reasonable price. There are two main benefits of hiring:
1. You will save time!
They have already done the leg work, they have the whole range lined up and you can just pick your favourites. They commonly offer packages, making this choice even simpler as you just select the package you like.
2. You will save money!
Always a good thing when you have a wedding/event to plan! It stands to reason that hiring is cheaper than buying, but you will have to weigh up the difference as this is a very personal decision.

In addition to your local junk shop try places like The Salvos and your local opportunity shop. You can sometimes also find a hidden gem at garage sales or local markets! Ikea – the Swedish home ware giant always has good options! At almost unbeatable prices they are well worth a good look.

Department Stores – Stores such as Kmart, Big W and Myer often have sales and although their range tends to be small there can often be a great piece at a very affordable price.
Lastly check with Family and Friends! – Lolly buffets are so popular now that you never know who might have some great options that you could borrow. Ask around, post on Facebook and you never know what you might turn up.
Candies For Your Candy Jar
Fulfilling your vision for the perfect candy buffet jar and the lollies inside might seem like a daunting task.
But just remember that the end goal isn’t how expensive or fancy your jars are – it’s how many colourful lollies you can delight your guests with! So focus on the sweet treats inside to create a real winning buffet.
There are things you need to think about when it comes to choosing candy for your lolly jars.
What colour lollies do you need?
First, think about the overall look and feel of your event and consider what the colour of your lollies will be.
Single colour or a mix of two or three hues are best from a visual perspective. Pink lollies are always one of the best sellers when it comes to parties, weddings or baby showers, while metallic lollies are a great way to add a luxe look for formal or corporate events.
What size lollies should you buy?
Next, consider the size of the candies you will be using in your candy jar.
Smaller lollies will take more to fill up your lolly jar, so you may need to purchase more, while larger lollies will fill the jars more quickly. However, you should also ensure that your chosen candies will actually fit inside the jars, and will be easy to reach by guests.
