Seize the Season with PayPal & Man Repeller's Leandra Medine
This season, PayPal is celebrating the moments of inspiration that lead to the perfect holiday gift and rewarding customers with member benefits and payment experiences that truly help them to Seize the Season.’ From over 75 exclusive deals from top PayPal merchants to PayPal’s new Cashback Mastercard that offers 2% cashback* on every single purchase, we’re arming holiday shoppers with everything they need to shop, gift and give back with ease and peace of mind.
 
I always find one of the most stressful parts of the season is finding the perfect gift for every person on my list. A recent PayPal study found that, for the second year in a row, money is the number one holiday gift Americans want, and more than half (52%) wish they could ask for cash instead of traditional holiday presents.
 
To help people get what they really want this year, we’ve brought back PayPal Local Selects host Leandra Medine of Man Repeller to bring her fearless style and lovable wit to six limited edition holiday digital greetings we co-created for PayPal’s person-to-person (P2P) gifting experience.  From walking the streets of New York during Fashion Week to founding and curating her popular multimedia platform, Leandra is no stranger to good design, so she’s brought that same eye to our holiday digital greetings that make the gift of money personal and fun this season. 
You can send a P2P digital greeting by simply logging into your account on PayPal.com, select Send Money, enter the recipient’s contact information, designate the amount, click the gift box, select your favorite greeting, personalize with a message, and send. The funds go right into their PayPal account; if they don’t have an account, they can quickly open one for free.
 
So, when you’re out searching for the perfect gift for your picky nephew, the doorman or that person who already has everything, seize the season with PayPal’s P2P greetings so people can get what they really want this year: money.
 
And, while money makes a great gift during the holidays, for those who are searching for something else, you can tune into PayPal’s holiday edition of Local Selects. Coming to you live from the Renegade Craft Fair in New York City, Leandra will host an interactive livestream that lets you shop like a local from wherever you are. You can tune in at paypal-localselects.com or Facebook.com/paypal on Sunday, December 3rd at 4 PM ET to watch and virtually interact with Leandra as she makes her way through the fair.
