The techno-phile is probably one of the hardest people on the Christmas list to buy for. They are notorious for buying their own toys right as they come onto the market--they're the ones in the family who stand in line for the newest iPhone,
iPad and Kindle Fire and they pre-order all their video games.
Everyone has a geek on their Christmas list. So what do you get them for Christmas?

Earlier in the week, the
Journal of Consumer Research released a study that showed consumers tend to
spend more when buying with credit cards than they do when using cash.
The authors of the study believe the reason goes beyond simple
convenience, and hinges on psychology: apparently, we're more likely to
focus on the benefits of the purchase, and not the cost, if we don't
actually have to count out the money ourselves.
