For jars/containers I would check out Michaels or Hobby Lobby. You can print coupons and get them fairly cheap or at Hobby Lobby they are routinely on sale for 40 or 50% off. Also, make sure to get jars with a wide top so you can fit a scoop in there otherwise people will be sticking their grubby hands in. In terms of candy: you should be able to find LOTS of pinks and purples. Since it's close to Easter you should be able to get some pastel colored stuff and there's always things like m&m's, jelly beans (you can get individual colors at most Super Targets), bubble gum, ribbon candy, etc.

I would check somewhere like Walmart for the scoops and look for ones for ice buckets. They should be the perfect size. Keep in mind: the bigger the scoop, the more candy your guests will get. If you're wanting to kind of limit the amount I would recommend smaller scoops. It won't always stop a guest from taking 7 scoops but it should stop most.

Walmart should have them. I just looked on Amazon and they have some starting at $1.80. I just googled metal ice scoop and it gave me lots of options. I would also check places like Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Using a 20% coupon you should be able to get them fairly cheap. I think any store with kitchen utensils should have ice scoops.

I think you can go with just about any type of candy although it might be nice to have a variety. Some chocolate, some fruity, maybe some white chocolate covered pretzels or almonds. Some gum, something chewy (like peach or apple rings), something sour, etc. I would avoid doing everything in all one category (like chocolate) because it will add some variety and you might have some guests who are allergic to certain things or don't care for them. You might also make some signs out of cardstock if you have extra time. Sometimes if candies aren't in the regular color people don't know what it is.
