Countdown to National Jelly Bean Day 22nd April - Win a Bean Machine!

Jelly bean lovers can rejoice as one of the most highly anticipated days of the year is nearly here ... National Jelly Bean Day!

Every year on the 22nd April jelly bean lovers all over the world celebrate these sweet delights which are bursting full of flavour.


You may be wondering, how do people celebrate National Jelly Bean Day?


Well that's easy. Eat more jelly beans of course! But there's more! 
  • Remember sharing is caring! 
  • Present them in jars as gifts to family and friends.
  • There are loads of jelly bean craft ideas and recipes which are great for kids! Look at the '101 Things to do with Jelly Beans' feature on the blog for ideas!
  • Play the classic 'How many jelly beans are in the jar' game and have friends, family and colleagues guess the correct number. Whoever comes closest to the answer wins the prize!
  • Have a jelly bean themed party!

So with only 6 days to go Just For You Confectionery want to kick start the celebration by giving away one of these brilliant Bean Machines from The Jelly Bean Factory!

This novel  product comes filled with 600g of delicious jelly beans! 

Around 26cm tall, it'll happily fit on your desk at work and you'll be the envy of your colleagues! Or pop it  the kitchen counter for everyone to see and share. 

I can guarantee the beans won't last long but not to worry, this Bean Machine can be refilled and reused time after time.
