In one of the coziest streets of Ghent there is a very nice little gift shop called ‘Mus in een plas’. It’s the ideal place if you’re looking for a present. My sister once gave me a little jar from 'Mus in een plas' and I really loved it. I use it to store all my makeup brushes. You can find all kinds of cool stuff here, from jewelry to things to decorate your house with. Think a lot of white and gold and you’re there.
The shop has a very original selection, you won’t be disappointed when entering here! I never manage to leave the shop without having less money on my bank account, so I’m sure you won’t either. But that’s not a problem, you get great stuff in return, which makes everyone happy.
Together everything looks so perfect, it feels like you’re in the middle of a fairy tale movie. The best part about it, is that you can buy the fairy tale and make it your house.
