The charms are all Lidl themed
The half-baby-half-monster dolls are causing a worldwide stir, having been used as handbag accessories by the likes of Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and even Kim Kardashian.
Now Lidl is getting in on the act with its own accessories to rival the plush toys, created by Hong-Kong artist Kasing Lung, who created the characters in 2015.
With the likes of Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Gucci all releasing their own, bag charms are a trend that just keeps hotting up.
According to research by Lidl, they've seen a huge 400 per cent rise in searches since 2024.
Its new bespoke bag charm collection includes six joyful trinkets that celebrate the supermarket's most iconic items, which shoppers can get their hands on for free.
Kicking off the charm selection is the award-winning and best-selling all butter croissant.
Fresh from the Lidl in-store bakery and onto the handbags of queens across the nation.
For those keen to add a splash of colour, the juicy trio of Oakland tomatoes brings the fresh produce aisle to the catwalk.
Taking the Middle Aisle to the middle of Vogue, shoppers can secure a replica of the lovable Lidl Bear, the supermarket's Christmas icon.
And, for those Lidl-lovers looking to dress for a charm offensive, the ultimate cult-favourite Leopard Print Kettle has also been reimagined in holographic charm form.
Lidl is selling a £2.99 product beauty fans are racing to nab - you don't have to wear foundation AND it contains SPF50
Tying together the eclectic collection, the charm also features a stylish leather tassel in the supermarkets signature blue, red and yellow, alongside a squishy Lidl logo.
The cheeky range comes following the success of Lidl's internet-breaking Croissant Handbag, which saw the statement piece sell-out in just two minutes.
Fashionistas and Lidl lovers alike simply need to head to the website to be in with a chance of getting their hands on one of the limited-edition bag charms.
And people are already going wild for them since spotting them on social media.
One said: "A trolley token with your LOGO on would have been a great addition to this! But I still want one anyway!"
"Would definitely buy this", insisted someone else.
Meanwhile, a third cried: "We need one of these."

What became of cast of BBC sitcom Bread from major Hollywood roles to soap comeback
It's been more than three decades since the curtain came down on the Boswell family in the final episode of Bread - but where is the cast now and what have they been up to since? It's been over thirty years since the sitcom Bread transported us into the Boswell family's Liverpool home. The widely adored series, set in the 1980s, chronicled the family's varying fortunes as they navigated life under the stern supervision of their matriarch, Nellie Boswell. Making its debut on May 1, 1986, the show's memorable ceramic hen from the opening credits and the theme song performed by the cast quickly became a beloved part of many viewers' evening routines. The programme ran for eight seasons until 1991, delivering numerous unforgettable moments, whether it was Liverpool icon Sonia making a guest appearance or the notorious Italian holiday in the Christmas special. But what have the cast members been up to in the 34 years since the show concluded? Jean Boht - Nellie Boswell Jean Boht portrayed Nellie, the family's matriarch who had to tolerate her family's often eccentric schemes to earn a living. Beyond the show, she featured in all the classic BBC soaps, including Casualty, Doctors, Holby City and The Bill, reports the Liverpool Echo. She also had a stint on stage, performing alongside Jeremy Irons in the 2006 production of Embers. Jean sadly passed away in September 2023 at the age of 91 following a battle with Alzheimer's disease. She spent her final days at Denville Hall, a residence for retired actors and members of the theatrical profession. Ronald Forfar - Freddie Boswell Ronald Forfar was known for his portrayal of Nellie's troublesome spouse Freddie, a character easily identifiable by his unkempt white hair and impressive moustache. Freddie was a constant source of trouble for the family due to his ongoing affair with Lilo Lill and his indifference towards his family's antics. Post-show, Ronald transitioned into writing, penning 'A Wilderness of Monkeys', a narrative about life in theatre. Sadly, Ronald passed away at the age of 81 in October 2020. Eileen Pollock - Lilo Lill Lilo Lill, the 'other woman' in the Boswell marriage, was one of the most memorable and iconic characters on the show, portrayed by Eileen Pollock. After the series concluded, Eileen spent much of her time on stage, collaborating with several Northern Irish companies. She also had a brief stint in Hollywood, featuring in the film adaptation of Frank McCourt's book 'Angela's Ashes' in 1999 and sharing screen space with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in 'Far and Away', playing the role of landlady Molly. Sadly, Eileen passed away in 2020 at the age of 73. Peter Howitt - Joey Boswell Howitt played the eldest of the Boswell boys, Joey, but was replaced in the fifth series when Graham Bickley took over the role. Peter went on to achieve significant success post-show, making a name for himself in Hollywood with films like 'Sliding Doors' and the 2012 thriller 'Reasonable Doubt', starring Dominic Cooper and Samuel L Jackson. However, he is perhaps best known for directing the original 'Johnny English' film, featuring Rowan Atkinson. He currently resides in Vancouver, Canada, with his wife and two children. Nick Conway - Billy Boswell Nick, the youngest of the brothers, portrayed the bumbling Billy Boswell who seemed to constantly struggle with even the simplest tasks, often through no fault of his own. He later appeared in several classic soaps, including roles on The Bill and Casualty, before securing the role of Gavin for a stint on Coronation Street. Now 62, Nick has also dabbled in DJing and opened a theatre school, following his own experiences performing in plays. Victor McGuire - Jack Boswell Post his stint as Jack Boswell in Bread, Victor has bagged significant roles across film and television, including appearances in Hollywood blockbusters such as Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and The Woman in Black. On the small screen, he's made appearances in Sky 1's Trollied, Casualty and more recently, as Big Garth on Coronation Street.

I struggled to grow my hair until a 88p hack made it super long in just one month – I can't believe it
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN who struggled to make her hair grow for two years revealed that she was able to make her locks long and luscious thanks to the help of an 88p Temu buy. Hannah Beau revealed that after using the budget buy, her hair grew super long, in just one month. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Hannah had been trying to grow her hair for years Credit: TikTok/Hannahbeau 3 Her hair grew long and luscious in just one month Credit: tiktok/@hannahbeauc 3 Hannah began using a scalp massager to stimulate growth Credit: Temu Taking to TikTok, the brunette beauty raved about her hair transformation. "I've accidentally come across the best product for hair growth," she said. "I'm lowkey p**ssed I didn't know about this two years ago." Hannah, who said she was "baffled" by the transformation, showed viewers a picture of her shoulder length hair in January. Read more hair care stories HAIR THIS The £6 'growth' shampoo shoppers love, but it won't be in the beauty aisle She then showed a snap of it three months later, not looking much longer. "And this is today", she said, sharing a picture of her locks tumbling down her back. Hannah revealed that there was just one month between the second and third pictures. Sharing her secret, she explained that there were only two things that she had changed about her hair care routine. The first was using a scalp brush, which you can pick up from from Temu for as little as 88p. Scalp massaging increases blood flow to the scalp, which can make hair grow faster and healthier, and increase hair thickness. My hair is so shiny you can see your reflection in it - it's all thanks to an 84p product that lasts up to 10 washes The second thing she started using was a scalp oil from Kitsch, priced at £20. "It's been doing a bloody good job," she said. "I'll have waist length hair by Christmas". The TikToker also said she thought the warmer weather may have helped her hair to grow. Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. Hair grows faster in the summer due to a variety of reasons, such as increased blood circulation due to warmer temperatures and increased vitamin D production. Hannah's (@hannahbeauc) video has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 873,000 views on the video sharing platform. TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts. One person said: "Scalp massagers deffo help because you're stimulating your hair follicles." A second person said: "Wow! I think it's because you're stimulating your scalp." A third person said: "Your hair journey has been so beautiful, I'm so happy for you!"

I was size 22 eating FIVE takeaways a week – now I'm told I look like Gemma Owen after 8st weight loss without jabs
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM got a jaw-dropping 'revenge body' with £5,000 'tweakments' and losing eight stone - gaining comparisons to Love Island star Gemma Owen. Amy Salmon says when her long-term relationship broke down in March last year she was a size 22 and felt 'horrific' in her own skin. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 15 Amy Salmon when she was size 22 before her weight loss Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Amy lost eight stone to get a 'revenge body' and now oozes confidence Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Gemma opted for a £4,200 gastric sleeve in June 2024 Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media But after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery and £5,000-worth of beauty treatments, the 31-year-old says she now oozes confidence and is a completely different person. Unbelievable photos show Amy a year apart looking strikingly different - with the aesthetics practitioner claiming she's now a completely different person both mentally and physically. When the mum-of-two first met her ex-partner aged 21 she weighed 10st and would go to the gym five times a week to maintain her trim size 8 figure. But after becoming comfortable in her relationship, Amy says she piled on the pounds and ballooned to 17st as she gorged on five takeaways a week due to 'emotional eating'. More on weight loss WEIGH TO GO I was sick of not losing weight, I've shed FIVE STONE without fat jabs or diets It was only when Amy saw photos of herself in a dress after a night out post break-up that she decided she needed to do something about her 'unhealthy' habits. At first, Amy tried to lose the weight through exercise but, due to her binge-eating habit, opted for a £4,200 gastric sleeve in June 2024. Following the op in Egypt, Amy dropped 8st and eight dress sizes to a svelte size six and says she's now a much more active mum too. Amy is now sharing her transformation to show other women that they shouldn't be scared to leave an 'unhealthy' relationship. Amy, from Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire, said: "There was a breakdown in communication in our relationship. "In the end, we couldn't even bring ourselves to be in the same room as each other. I was sick of trying fad diets and not losing weight but now I've shed FIVE STONE without fat jabs or silly eating plans "I felt horrific in myself. I had never felt so low mentally and physically in my body image in my entire life. "A massive contributing factor for the relationship ended was how I looked, I was a massive binge eater. "You get comfortable with someone and go out on dates to eat and you're not going to the gym five or six times a week like I was when I first met him. "[In the relationship], I would order a lot of Uber Eats. I would have constant takeaways and live off these. 15 Following the op in Egypt, Amy dropped 8st and eight dress sizes to a svelte size six Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 After becoming comfortable in her relationship, Amy says she piled on the pounds and ballooned to 17st Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 She used to be a size eight (pictured at the age of 21) before her relationship Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media 15 Her long-term relationship broke down in March last year and prompted her image overhaul Credit: Kennedy Newsand Media "I was probably having five takeaways a week and it was setting me back at least £100. "The binge-eating had gotten out of control. I just needed something as extreme as a gastric sleeve to kick me into gear. "It [losing the weight] made me feel amazing. I love fashion and it meant I was able to buy clothes from shops as before I had to buy my clothes online. "As a mum it has massively changed the game. As a 17 stone woman, I would be sweating at soft play. "I used to be embarrassed to do those things because of how I looked and my energy levels but now I feel so much better."

In total Amy said she had £5,000 worth of treatments done and claims her break-up was the best thing to ever happen to her. Amy said: "I have changed my hair and got 18-inch extensions put in. The short bob was such a miserable cut and colour for a miserable person. "I do a lot of the treatment myself but I would have spent absolutely thousands on this. My hair alone cost me £600 and in total at least £5,000 for everything else."

Amy said: "When I look in the mirror, I see a different person and I don't recognise the person I was. I could cry looking at photos. "When I stepped out of that relationship, I didn't recognise myself. I am so happy in myself now and I just ooze confidence. "I got compared to Love Islander Gemma Owens. She's so young but maybe my aesthetic treatment is working. "The break up was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It needed to happen and I dread to think where I would be if I was still in that relationship. "Do not let the fear of what your life will look like keep you miserable. Life's too short."
