What is Diddl and what can you do with it? Discover seven Diddl items to collect or give, plus calendars to plan your year with.
Didl, often spelled Diddl, is the famous mouse with the big feet and the colorful circle of friends, known from stationery, plush and collectible sheets. Those now looking for Diddl items will find both new items and second-hand treasures, and this overview shows what suits your own collection or as a gift.
You might recognize it: a drawer full of stationery from grade 7, traded on the schoolyard for a sheet you didn't have yet. I think of a mother who gave her eight-year-old daughter a plush Diddl, and only later discovered that she had spent the whole afternoon on the floor sorting the old sheets. That's how Diddl works: it feels like a piece of youth you can pass on. Below are seven items, with specs, price indications and an honest verdict.
1. Diddl makeup palette
The Diddl makeup palette is a small makeup set from the Diddl collection, listed at DreamLand, for about €14.99. It is a compact palette, with no further specifications in the listing. That means you can't check in advance how many shades it contains or how large it ultimately is, so view the DreamLand product page before you order. For a child playing with makeup for the first time, a small palette is a nice starting point: it fits in a handbag or schoolbag and doesn't require a whole dressing table. The idea behind it is mainly recognizability, since the mouse with the big feet makes an everyday product instantly personal.
It suits a small present for Diddl fans, for example for a birthday or as an extra with a larger gift. The budget stays low and recognizability high. Pair it with an A6 sheet or a gift bag from this overview and you have an attractive little package for little money. For a teen nostalgic for the past it also works as a joke: a palette featuring the face of their childhood heroes stands out among the ordinary gifts.
Verdict: a lighthearted gift for someone who wants something useful.
2. A5 notebook with colored pencils and highlighters
This writing set consists of an A5 notebook, 12 colored pencils in rainbow colors and 6 highlighters, for about €22.99 according to Mijn Diddl. The A5 size is a pleasant middle ground: big enough to draw on, small enough for a backpack. The rainbow-colored pencils cover the entire color range, so a child can finish a drawing without a missing shade. The six highlighters are useful for underlining notes or accenting letters in a diary.
It is suitable for children and fans who like to draw, write or color, at home at the table or at school. For that amount you get a complete set right away, so you don’t have to buy pencils, markers and a notebook separately and match them. Think of a child who wants to keep their own Diddl diary: book, colors and markers are all in the same set. It also works well as a gift for a collector who likes to add drawings to her sheets herself.
Verdict: a practical gift that will actually be used.
3. Pimboli plush toy
The Pimboli plush is made of soft plush with embroidered accents and is available in 20 cm or 30 cm. A price is not listed, so check it with the seller before you decide. Embroidered accents, such as a face or small details, often retain their shape better than glued-on parts and are nicer for small hands. Pimboli belongs to Diddl’s circle of friends, making him especially interesting for those who know the characters beyond the main stars.
It suits plush lovers and collectors of the Diddl characters, for the bed, the windowsill or the display shelf. Choose 20 cm for a small spot and 30 cm if you want it to stand out. The small size fits easily next to a row of sheets in a binder or on a bookshelf, while the larger variant is a plush to really sleep with. Someone who already has a Diddl or Diddlina can place Pimboli next to them and slowly expand the group.
Verdict: a soft extra character for anyone who wants to have the whole circle of friends.
4. Diddl and Diddlina plush mice
The plush Diddl and Diddlina mice have the original design, are made of soft plush and are available in 20 cm or 30 cm, Mijn Diddl describes. Prices are not mentioned, so ask the webshop for them. The original design is what a collector looks for: the same large feet and the same look as the mouse from the years when everyone traded sheets at school. Because Diddl and Diddlina come in the same sizes, you can place them side by side as a pair without one overshadowing the other.
This is the safest choice if you want to give a recognizable character as a gift, for example as a baby gift for an older child with nostalgia or as a birthday plush. Giving the duo together makes it extra personal. If you’re undecided about sizes, 20 cm is a good size for a child who takes the plush everywhere, and 30 cm is suitable for a place on the bed. For someone who collected these as a child, a plush Diddl also works as a tribute to their own youth.
Verdict: the classic among Diddl gifts.
5. Diddl A6 collectible sheets
The A6 collectible sheets are assorted stationery, offered as a set of 21 different sheets for about €3, according to a Marktplaats listing, excluding shipping. The listing states the sheets are fresh from the pad, which usually means they are neat and not folded or written on. The A6 size is small enough to store in a binder with sleeves and large enough to see the design well. The number of 21 different sheets also means you won't get duplicates, which is convenient for traders.
They suit paper collectors and fans who want to trade or top up their collection with a small investment. Factor in shipping costs, as those are separate from the €3. At that per-sheet price it's so cheap you can start without risk. Someone who has never owned a Diddl sheet has a low-cost entry point here, and someone with a large collection can fill in missing variants.
Verdict: the cheapest way to expand your collection.
6. Diddl gift bags
This set consists of five gift bags with handles: four with Diddlina and one with Diddl, for about €7.50 according to a Marktplaats listing. The handle makes wrapping easy: you put the gift inside and don't need to fold paper or use tape. Because four of the five bags show Diddlina, the set suits a girl who especially likes that character.
They are intended for anyone who wants to wrap a Diddl gift festively, for example at a children's party or a Sinterklaas surprise. With five bags you can wrap multiple gifts in style. Think of party giveaway gifts: each child gets a bag with a small Diddl item inside, such as a few A6 sheets. Also for a collector who likes to carry their trading items neatly, such a bag is a nice storage spot.
Verdict: an economical package that makes the gift feel complete right away.
7. Diddl collectible sheets and stationery (secondhand)
The secondhand selection includes collectible sheets and stationery, with a price range of €0 to €75 and an average asking price of €12 according to the Marktplaats price check. Price depends on item, condition and set size, which explains the wide spread. A single set given away for free and a complete, well-preserved series priced at €75 can both appear under the same search term. The average asking price of €12 provides a reasonable guideline.
This suits collectors who want to compare a range of prices and are specifically looking for old series. Take your time: the same item can vary greatly in price. View multiple listings side by side and pay attention to photos, descriptions and whether shipping costs are included. That way you’ll quickly discover a fair price and avoid paying too much for something that’s available elsewhere for half the price.
Verdict: the place for rare finds, provided you compare patiently.
For the new generation it’s an opportunity to collect together with parents. For those who traded in the past, it’s a chance to fill gaps in their collection.
Is Diddl still worth money?
Diddl still has some monetary value, but mainly sentimental value: the average asking price for collectible items is €12 according to the Marktplaats price check, with highs up to €75. Most sheets and paper goods fetch only a modest amount, while complete, well-preserved series sell for more.
If you want to appraise your collection, look at condition, set size and rarity. A sticker still on the pad is worth more than a sheet with folds.
How do you store and display a Diddl collection?
You should store a Diddl collection dry, flat and out of the sun so the paper doesn’t yellow. Think of a binder with sleeves for the sheets and a shelf for the plush toys, with the largest stuffed animals at the back and the smaller ones in front.
A calendar with animals or cheerful drawings complements a Diddl gift, so the package feels cohesive. That way you turn a plush toy or notebook into a complete gift for 2027.
For children and teens: the Animal Selfies calendar 2027 brings laughter every month.
For fantasy fans: the Garden Gnomes calendar 2027 has a fairytale atmosphere.
For cat lovers: the Mewvie Cat calendar 2027 is a soft addition.
