As the holiday season kicks into full gear, we’re all looking forward to the things that really matter: bingeing on our favorite TV shows, eating a ton of comfort food, and spending quality time with family and friends.
But most of us have a shopping list to knock off too. And while experiences are becoming more popular gifts -- in part because, research suggests, they tend to create more happiness than material goods do -- we all have a friend or loved one who just has a thing for cold, hard cash. You know, the cousin who idolizes Warren Buffett -- or the old college roommate who dreams of building a $1 million savings account.
If that sounds familiar, here are some gift ideas for the money lover on your list. (See all of Money's holiday gift guides.)

For money lovers who want to find their own spare change, a metal detector offers both a hobby and -- in theory, at least -- a financial payoff.

8. Furniture
Of course, for those who want to lie back and count their riches, a simple pillow may not be enough. If the money lovers in your life need more luxury for their lounging, they can buy an entire couch made of welded half-dollars.
