    We have had nothing but awesome experiences when doing business with George Watts and their staff!!! From making purchases, whether for personal use or gift giving, the helpful staff has gone above and beyond.

    We've also enjoyed wonderful lunches in the Tea Room! The food is wonderful and such a treat! Never been disappointed!

    And lastly, having done a wine tasting one evening has gotten us hooked on purchasing all new wine glasses from Watt's! The evening was one of great wine, great company and a very knowledgeable demo on what a difference the correct wine glass can make in bringing out the best of your wine.

    We will always make a point of stopping back into the store when we are in town. They are always keeping their selection fresh and exciting!

    Thanks for the wonderful experience's plan to have many more with you!!!!

    Wonderful shop that's been in Milwaukee for over 140 years. Signature gift boxes and wrapping make gift-giving special.

    I love, love, love this place! Where do I start? Yummy food upstairs for brunch, tons of gorgeous gift items, and exceptionally helpful and nice staff, consistently. This is a Milwaukee institution that has stayed true to itself but also stays current. Go there for a fun girly Saturday or buy someone a gift card. DId I mention I love it here?

I've been at Watts for over 8 years and I love what I do.  

My only goal in life is to be happy. I like what I do for a living, so that helps. As far as professional experience goes: I just sort of pick stuff up as I go along. Always trying to learn new skills and never saying no to a project that I could benefit from. I try to make myself invaluable where ever I'm employed by simply being the best at what I do.
