A new do at Mousey Browns
The vibrant salon that opened its doors earlier this year on Humber Street is currently offering a range of gift cards. Priding themselves on bespoke hairdressing that is tailored to the individual, Mousey Brown’s is the ideal spot for those who are after a brand new look or just a simple trim.

Something sweet from Cocoa Chocolatier
Head a little further down the newly-renovated Humber Street and you will smell the gorgeous scent of fresh chocolate and pastries.
Specialising in the truly indulgent, Cocoa Chocolatier made its name at Trinity Market, serving wonderfully rich brownies and sweet bites. Check out their mouthwatering festive variety of confectionary, but be sure not to scoff them all before the big day.
Tantalise your taste buds at 7 Humber Street. Alternatively, see their range of chocs on the Cocoa Chocolatier website.
A vintage treasure from Roisin Dubh
Tucked away in one of Hull’s charming Victorian arcades, Roisin Dubh is jam-packed full of shabby chic homeware and vintage-inspired treasures.
Translating into English as Black Rose, the small and delightful boutique is an excellent choice for those who love quirky items. Here you can discover a diverse assortment of kitchenware, nostalgic accessories and boudoir decor.
Pop into Roisin Dubh in Hepworth’s Arcade. You can also buy online.
Fruity goodness from The Tea Shop
We all know a tea addict: that person in the office who always has a brew to hand. Upgrade their stash by gifting them some special blends from The Tea Shop.
Selling over 150 varieties of the brew stuff, the stall has you covered whether you’re after herbal, fruit, green or black loose leaf tea. They also stock a collection of novelty teaware, including some Hull-inspired mugs and teapots.
