This edition of the OnMilwaukee #WeWant brings you ideas for the best Father's Day gifts ever. 'Cause, you know, he deserves it. 

For the fisher-dad: Slop Frog baits

Treat your muskie, pike and bass-fishing father to some of the best top water fishing lures out there. Slop Frog baits don't get tangled in the weeds, and they won't fill up with water. Best of all, they were designed by a Wisconsin native and are hand-poured in Beaver Dam.

For the brew lover: Wisconsin Beer Lovers Festival tickets or a brewery tour

If your dad enjoys a nice cold brew, you should seriously consider getting him tickets to one of the best local beer festivals around. The Wisconsin Beer Lovers Festival showcases the best of the best in Wisconsin beers, including tastings of unique and rare beers that don't often make it to market. Food pairings from area restaurants ensure that you can make a day of it without going hungry. Best of all, you can spend the day with dad – the best gift of all – whiling away the hours in the beautiful outdoors.

How about a brewery tour? Milwaukee's basically turned into craft Munich, with breweries popping up in every neighborhood seemingly every month. Sprecher and Lakefront are the ones he knows and no doubt has been to a dozen times since 2000. But what about Milwaukee Brewing Co.? Good City? You'll enjoy the taste of delicious, non-Miller craft beer; he'll enjoy getting tipsy and telling you a never-before-heard story about an old girlfriend before your mother or a whitewater rafting trip gone awry with a grizzly bear in northern Canada. And, actually, you'll enjoy that, too. Men like to do stuff. Dads are the ultimate men. Give him an experience; make a memory.

For cheffy dads: butcher block from Our Daily Salt or grill grate cleaner

Get him the butcher block of his dreams from local wood-smiths at Our Daily Salt. This beauty features a calico pattern in burgundies and browns, and you can customize it by adding handles for just $20.

For the dad who likes to grill, this would be a terrible gift as is. "Hey, dad, happy Father's Day; now get to work scrubbing the Weber!" However, if you give your pop this cleaner and a handmade (or computer made) gift certificate for YOU to clean the grill in the future, THAT is a gift.

For the lover of lit: Boswell Books gift card

If your dad likes to read, then a gift card to a book store (we recommend Boswell Book Co.) is a sure-to-please present. It certainly beats that "World's #1 Dad" mug.

For the sports-lover dad: Lambeau trip and tix

Got a sports fan dad? What's his favorite team? The Packers? Of course it is. Well, despite the urban legend of impossible-to-attain tickets, it's actually pretty easy to get a couple seats for a single game. Yes, watching it in his arm chair with a High Life and easy food and bathroom access is what he says he wants, but I guarantee a fully planned and paid-for trip to Lambeau (or Miller Park, the Bradley Center, Soldier Field in Chicago for a big-time soccer match, the US Open golf tournament, etc.) will make for a much more unique and unforgettable experience. And that's what life's about: great experiences and lasting memories.

For the dad who enjoys his lawn: Toro Recycler 22-inch Personal Pace Variable Speed Self-Propelled Electric Start Gas

We always recommend a battery-powered lawnmower, and that is still a great choice for tiny lawns. But if your yard is bigger than a postage stamp, consider this interesting offer from Toro. Its 163cc Briggs & Stratton engine (from Milwaukee) is nothing special, but this walk-behind is because it has a reliable, electric push-button starter. That means no more cord-pulling. And, allegedly, you never have to change the oil; you just pour in new oil when it gets low. The big selling point is the "Personal Pace" speed control of this rear-wheel drive mower, but that’s less impressive to me than the hose connect to clean the underside and the other time-saving features. If you’re ready to upgrade your mower, this $374 Toro is a good way to go.

For the snazzy dresser: nautical tie

Why not go with the most classic dad's day gift there is: the neck tie. It's classic for a reason. This one is particularly cute – anchors are so "in" right now – and it's a really nice shade of blue. Unless, of course, your dad's not a tie-wearing guy, in which case, perhaps he likes booze?

For the music lover Dad: Chris Stapleton tickets

Last week, GQ wrote this headline: "Chris Stapleton Delivered Yet Another Face-Melting Performance at the CMT Awards." Indeed he did. Stapleton might be the best thing in music today. And, guess what: He’s coming to Milwaukee on July 2 for a show at Summerfest with Alabama Shakes. Get Dad tickets for this show. He’ll love you for it. Here’s a sample of what he will jam to all night long.  

For your dad the mixologist: From Milwaukee with Love 

The From Milwaukee with Love Cocktail kit is the perfect gift for the dad who has everything. It includes Top Note Tonic, maraschino cherries, bitters and a set of four snazzy handmade sterling silver MKE cocktail skewers designed by Preston Copeland of Copious Design. A recipe card featuring a great cocktail from the professionals at Bittercube ensures that your gift will keep on giving.

For the outdoorsman: A canoe/kayak and camping adventure in the north woods

Just you and dad, out in nature, paddling the rivers and tackling the wilderness, trying to survive (OK, hopefully not trying that hard; this isn't "The Revenant"). Ask your dad about different types of trees and birds and water level and geography and making a fire. Dads love this stuff; they want to teach and pass on knowledge and life skills. 

For the Dad who needs to slim down or just loves health gadgets: Withings scale

The Body Cardio scale from Withings brings "a vital new heart health metric home, so that anyone can keep tabs on their cardiovascular health and be empowered to take action to improve it." Sign us up, and sign your Dad up, too. It has "exclusive cardiovascular health insights and a seamless connection to an app called Health Mate," so it’s being called the "world's most advanced scale."

For the whiskey drinker: Glenfiddich 14 Year

Give your dad a gift to keep on sippin'. Glenfiddich 14 Year Old delivers a bourbon heart with the soul of single malt. Matured for 14 years in ex-bourbon American Oak casks, the whiskey offers woodsy spices and plenty of ripe supper fruit. Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman finishes the whisky in deep charred new American Oak barrels supplied by The Kelvin Cooperage in Louisville, Kentucky. Get it at Ray's Liquor or select stores. 

For the curious dad: binoculars

Get dad a really good pair of binoculars. He can use them to observe the wildlife while on a hike, get a close-up of Lucroy's expression when he's up to bat, see every one of Weird Al's curls at Summerfest or check out Jupiter on a clear night (a decent pair of binoculars is better for star-gazing than most kids' telescopes). Amazon has good ones in all price ranges, or pick one up at American Science and Surplus.

For the dad who needs a better night’s sleep: Casper Pillow

Truth be told, who doesn't need a new pillow (hint, hint). And this one from Casper has gotten rave reviews. Buy one for Dad and get another for yourself.  

For the big or small spender: cash  

Many dads don't treat themselves, so while this isn't a particularly sexy gift, a few Benjamins (or even a few Andrews) can go a long way toward making him feel special. Along the same lines, give Dad a day off. He can have the freedom to do whatever he wants, no kids, no wife, no work duties or lawn mowing or chores. Just a chance to relax and recharge.

For the doer Dad: a class or skill

Chances are, there's a new skill or activity Dad has always wanted to try. So sign him up for a class or lessons. He could take up a new instrument through the Milwaukee Rec Department, learn to cook with wine at the Milwaukee Public Market, become a sailor at the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center or train for a triathalon at the WAC.

For the music lover: bluetooth headphones

Ear buds consist of about three main pieces, but despite the simplicity, they can be a bit of an annoyance. Carry them in your pocket for more than a couple of paces, and you'll spend minutes figuring out how to untangle them.

We tried out two pairs of bluetooth earbuds, JBL's J46BT Bluetooth wireless headphones and Beats by Dr. Dre Powerbeats 2 bluetooth earbuds.

Bluetooth headphones definitely fall under the "it's the little things" design solutions. In some ways, it swaps one problem for another (problem cords vs. regularly charging the bluetooth sets), but after a couple weeks of testing, it felt like a worthwhile compromise.

The J46BTs look a bit large, but once you get them situated in your ears they felt quite comfortable and didn't look terribly big and gawky. The Powerbeats feature a much more flamboyant design with an over-the-ear hook to keep them from falling out during energetic movements, but I never felt the J46BTs were in particular danger of falling out.

The Powerbeats also had a cinch toggle to keep the cable between the two speakers as short as possible, but both of these features struck me as kind of dorky for a lifestyle brand. Beats as a brand seems to be more about standing out than blending in, so maybe this makes sense. The practical side of me may appreciate the extra security over minimalist style. The J45BTs shouldn't fall out, but if you're a runner, why risk it?

The headphone batteries both lasted about 14 hours or so and charging them went very quickly. A reasonable charge could be had in about 15 minutes, but a full charge takes around an hour. The entire time we had them they never tangled and they were never jostled or ripped from my ears.

The only real drawback is the price, which hovers around $100-$150. With any luck, as the technology and availability progress, that price will drop. But in the meantime, that's part of what makes it the perfect Father's Day gift. Get your dad something he might not go out of his way to buy, but would appreciate anyway.
