When we were in Bruges in May, I picked up a few sofa accent pillowcases at the store near the horse carriages in the Begijnhof area These were animal themed -- one small pillowcase featured a red squirrel, the two slightly larger square cases had a chamois and an ibex. (We lived in Switzerland, so we went with a mountain/forest animal theme)

Note: these were contemporary in style, not the old tapestry style. They weren't expensive - about 20 euros each, as I recall -- and were easy to pack. You can, if you wish, also buy the pillow for the pillowcase (sold separately). I did get that to go with the squirrel pillowcase because it was an unusual size.

In addition to chocolate (and I would add Dumon to the list in addition to the Chocolate line), I also loved lots of stuff at a neat store called Dille and Kamille (sorry, don't recall the address but it was central) where they had loads of well priced linen - napkins, runners, etc.- as well as kitchen and household products. Really a great store!

The chocolates we brought back were very well received; my favorite item we kept was the rectangular pillow cover composed of the roof lines/buildings in Bruges. So glad I purchased it and we enjoy it every day.
