Father's Day is just around the corner (it's June 16, to be exact), and with it comes a welcome opportunity to take time out of our busy lives and celebrate our favorite father figures. While we're sure you're filled with feelings of gratitude and searching for the very best ways to express that, there's no denying that dads tend to be the most difficult people to gift. Somehow they always already have everything they want—not to mention, most dads are practical and notoriously dislike receiving things that simply take up space or add to clutter. The logical solution? Finding Dad a practical gift that he'll actually want to hang onto. Something useful. Something "techy" perhaps?

After all, what Dad doesn't like exploring the latest and greatest gear on the market? You know the type: They always have the newest iPhone and are constantly discovering cool gadgets you've never even heard of. Whatever type of tech your dad is into—whether he wants to step up his cooking game with a smart appliance or track his next workout with a state-of-the-art watch—we're pretty certain you'll find at least a few things in this list that he still doesn't have. Ranging from everyday affordable pieces to high-end luxury items, these 35 gifts are sure to take dad's tech game to the next level.

Oh, and if you know someone who is a dad-to-be, then we also have a great gift guide just for them, too. And don't forget, Mother's Day is coming up too (on Sunday, May 12), so if you're still shopping for your favorite lady, here are some ways to spoil her silly.
