Yoo Shop

For a hospital shop this is a great little gem.
A friend recommended I visit this place just tucked inside the public entrance to Birmingham’s Children’s Hospital. I was a tiny bit sceptical, and I have to admit to feeling slightly uneasy at the prospect of a hospital trip even though I had no patient to visit. I needn’t have worried.
Yoo Shop is a short walk up the bright, glass panelled ramp and is perfectly accessible to passers by. My friend had told me this place was decent if you needed a quick snack or if you needed to make a few purchases for an up and coming celebration. As I entered I knew exactly what they meant. Yes, there are get-​well cards aplenty but Yoo also stocks a huge range of wrapping papers and gift bags for any occasion. It’s like a fully fledged card shop!!! In this way, Yoo makes a good alternative if you’re trying to find something a little bit different from the high street. Incidentally, the range of colourful and wacky balloons on sale is really staggering. I love my balloons!
