They sell Fiesta dishes and cookware, pretty pastel colored SMEG toasters, mixers, and coffee pots, and Christmas decorations and adorable Christmas dishes that said HO HO HO. Some of my favorite items I saw there were coffee mugs with Gustav Klimt designs and a tea pot with attached cup that had Van Gogh's Sunflowers printed on it. I saw so many cute and cool items here! It's a large store and reminds me a bit of Pier One or Cost Plus World Market. It's located right next door to MacLeods Scottish Shop which is also worth checking out. Watson's is a nice shop with lots of unique finds, and I'd definitely suggest checking it out if you are shopping in Stratford.

They have so many different types of plates, glasses and kitchen hodgepodge, I could stay there for hours. Near the back in their bath section they sell extremely cheap lavender satchels for your drawers. In Toronto, those things cost $12.50! I paid $3.50 and stocked up. They also have cheaper items downstairs. The best aspect of this place? Their KITTIES. They have two (used to have more than 2 but I only saw two last time) that lay amongst the china and goods. Often they are sleeping and very receptive to petting, as in they do not wake up and you can pet them forever! The kitties of Watson's are memorials of my childhood. Love it there!

We came in and took a short look around. It wasn't a huge store but charming. However, we felt like we were inconveniencing the lady behind the counter. My friend asked about the cheese and the lady seemed annoyed, didn't know what she was talking about and was quite unfriendly. We felt uncomfortable, so left. I would've been interested to see some of the cheeses and maybe try a few but I will be going to another cheese shop for that.

The ambiance is cute, but it's a small shop so dine-in isn't an option. There are cute benches nearby so this wasn't a problem at all.
