What's the best gift you ever got for Father's Day? Here are a few more items--some practical, some unusual--to check out.

For the person who always loses his cell phone, try the cell phone backup drive.

For the dad who likes to have everything monogrammed, here's an engraved iPod Nano he might like.

For the father who likes to skateboard and is a bit of a daredevil, check out this prototype of a
motorized skateboard called the Scarpar.

For the dad who really isn't good with directions (even if he pretends to be), here's a personal navigator he might like.

And finally, for the father who has too much money and nothing practical to spend it on, check out this Bionic Dolphin for something a little more interesting than a fishing boat!
