 Oxin gift store in Leuven by Christophe_Ons
If you want a unique gift, you should stay off the main two shopping streets (Bondgenotenlaan and Diestsestraat) and take a walk in some of the sidestreets in the center. That's where you'll find little shops like this one.
Oxin is moderately priced, no fancy boutique prices. Leave a Comment Theme: GiftsAddress: Drie Engelenberg, LeuvenDirections: From the center, facing the townhall, walk right to the corner of the square and make a left to the Oude markt (Old Market Square), next it's the second, tiny street on the right. (total distance from town hall ca. 300m / 0.2 mile)

 De Slegte discount
bookstore, Leuven by Christophe_Ons
There's a wide selection of books available, neatly sorted by subject over a total of 5 floors (including ground level and basement). I like the art and architecture sections, and I've also seen a few interesting (photo-) books (including English ones) on Belgium/Flanders. Well worth a look before buying books elsewhere.
De Slegte says their discounts on unused books are between 20 and 80%... As in most discount stores, quality varies greatly - but there are some great bargains to be had.

Ok so we belgians are know for our chocolate. We have different known brands. Leonidas being one of the most famous and relatively cheap. When we have people visiting from other countries we usually buy them some and they just can't stop eating them. A japanese visitor even managed to finish a whole box in between dinner courses! But NOTHING prepares you for chocolate from this little store, they are just out of this world good. They are all house made and come in many different flavours, raspberry truffles anyone? It should say "Heaven" on the window!
I like the white truffles most.

 pick up a Leuven postcard here by Christophe_Ons
It's a good place to pick up some Leuven postcards if you'd need any.
Inexpensive. Especially for the postcards you'll certainly pay more elsewhere. Leave a Comment Theme: Discount StoreAddress: Bondgenotenlaan, B-3000 LeuvenDirections: ca. 50m from the center square (Fochplein), on your left side, you can't miss it - they put some of their stuff (including the postcards) out on the sidewalk. I don't know the exact opening hours, say 10:00-18:00 (Mon thru Sat, closed Sun).

 Denon supermarket, Leuven by Christophe_Ons
Since it's a supermarket you can basically buy anything you need in terms of food / drink - including fresh produce or, better yet, a few bottles of those Belgian beers you've been craving for.
Moderate prices. Delhaize is not the cheapest supermarket, but they carry mostly quality brands and have a wide selection.

(note : Oil & Vinegar - see tip above - is practically next door)
