It's not the only viral product that has been turned into a bag charm, as the limited collection has reimagined the sell-out leopard print kettle into a holographic charm form for a bit of wild touch.
Shoppers could also be in with the chance of winning a replica of the supermarket's teddy bear, a Christmas icon, alongside a trio of juicy Oakland tomatoes and a squishy version of the Lidl logo.
This isn't the first time that Lidl has offered its own spin on a haute-couture trend, as last year saw the launch of its very-own luxury handbag that was designed to resemble its beloved all butter croissant.
Costing £50, the statement piece, which was designed in collaboration with Italian-American designer Nick Bentel, was said to be so popular that it sold out within just two minutes of being launched.
As for the new limited-edition bag charms, they will only be around for a limited amount of time, with eager shoppers able to now submit their personal details with one of the supermarket's entry forms here.
Entrants must be 18 years or older and live in the UK, excluding Northern Ireland. Owing to its limited nature, only one entry is allowed, with extra entries resulting in a disqualification.
Lidl's bag charms giveaway is available until 23:59pm on Wednesday, June 4 and the full terms and conditions can be found here.

The best beers to buy at Lidl, tried and tasted
It's 30 years since German supermarket Lidl first opened its doors in the UK. In that time it has gained a reputation for offering some cracking, keenly priced food items and superstar wines, but what of the beer aisle? I put Lidl's beer range through a rigorous taste test to mine for quality bargains. This included a selection of Lidl's own-label products as well as some of the well-known brands it offers. The range leans heavily towards lager, as you might expect with research suggesting that over 70 per cent of Brits prefer it to ale. However, it does have a compact but well chosen offering for ale lovers, too. And keep an eye out in the fabled Middle of Lidl for occasional specials; I've seen four-packs of Thornbridge's legendary Jaipur IPA in there at a bargain-basement price and the large 'selection pack' of German beers that is usually released around Oktoberfest is always hotly anticipated. Examining the range as a whole, I quickly noticed that almost every bottle is labelled 'premium'. To paraphrase The Incredibles, if everything is super then nothing is – the descriptor loses all meaning. I therefore tasted the range blind, to prevent undue influence from the packaging or my own personal bias. My final list features those I consider the very best available – as well as a couple that miss the mark and are best avoided. After the big reveal, my verdict is that Lidl offers a number of extremely successful big-name duplicates that offer a lot of flavour at a very competitive price. So if you're accustomed to sticking to your usual brand of beer, perhaps it's time for a taste test of your own.

Peter Tobin detective to reveal how cops finally caught serial killer
Retired detective David Swindle will take to the stage to talk about his biggest cases including the capture of a notorious serial killer. The former police chief who brought serial killer Peter Tobin to justice is to take the public behind the scenes of his most chilling cases. David Swindle was in charge of the investigation into the 2006 rape and murder of Polish student Angelika Kluk - whose body was found hidden under the floorboards of a Glasgow church - and quickly identified handyman Tobin as the prime suspect. He then set up the UK wide Operation Anagram which linked Tobin to the unsolved murders and disappearances in 1991 of two other young women Vicky Hamilton and Dinah Nicol. At the time of his death in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary in October, 2022, Tobin, then 76, was serving a whole life term for all three murders including Angelika. Swindle who retired from Strathclyde Police at the rank of Detective Superintendent, will take to the stage later this year in Irvine, Ayrshire for his new true crime show Murder – A Search for the Truth. Other dates across Scotland are also being planned. Swindle, who worked on hundreds of homicides in his distinguished 34 year career, has recently completed a nationwide UK tour seen by almost 170,000 people, His new live show will be at Irvine Harbour Arts Centre on November 15. The audience will be given an insight into the policing techniques deployed in a major murder investigation including the arrest of Tobin. Swindle will also look at the psychology of killers and try and answer the question - are they born or made? He said: 'I'm excited to bring this show to Irvine."It's the perfect setting for a face-to-face with the truth behind some of the UK's darkest crimes "No drama. Just facts, cases and real consequences. 'Sometimes there is too much focus on the killer and we should never ever forget the victims. "For every one of these murders there's at least one victim – someone's daughter or son. It's all about the victims.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Operation Anagram used every police force across the UK to investigate Peter Tobin who was originally from Johnstone in Renfrewshire .It looked at more than 1000 leads, tracked down more than 40 places he lived and investigated any unsolved murders or missing women in those areas. Detectives narrowed the list to nine unsolved murders and missing person cases with possible links to Tobin. Operation Anagram also looked at the unsolved murders from 1968 and 1969 of young Glasgow mothers Patricia Docker, 25, Helen Puttock, 29, and Jemima MacDonald, 32, by a man dubbed Bible John by newspapers. However it found no link to Tobin. Since his retiral Mr Swindle has also helped the parents of Livingston woman Kirsty Maxwell investigate the mystery death of their daughter who fell from a balcony while holidaying in Benidorm, Spain, with friends in 2017.
