SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Afterpay, the leading 'Buy Now, Pay
Later' platform, is launching the Impossible Gift Finder, hosted by
the ultimate, impossible-to-find holiday gift from the late-90's,
Furby. For a limited-time this December, shoppers can turn to
Furby, the iconic brand from Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ:HAS), to get
expert gifting advice on what to buy for the most impossible people
on their shopping list this season.
The holiday shopping season is a stressful time of the year -
especially when it comes to gift giving. Recent research from
Afterpay shows that one in four people feel stressed or overwhelmed
by spending money at this time of year. Knowing this, Afterpay and
Furby will offer consumers the opportunity to discover great gift
ideas from the best retailers - allowing shoppers to celebrate that
feeling of crossing off the last gift of their holiday shopping
list. Consumers can get gifting advice from Furby in real-time
through Afterpay's TikTok comments from December 7 through 12 and shop for them in four
interest-free installments via Afterpay1.
Casey Collins, GM & SVP,
Global Licensed Consumer Products at Hasbro said, "We're
excited to give our classic brand, Furby, a fun comeback through
our collaboration with Afterpay. This holiday season, consumers can
interact with Furby like never before by having the iconic furry
friend help them make gift-buying a whole lot easier."
Geoff Seeley, Global CMO of
Afterpay said, "This holiday season, Afterpay is removing
the stress for shoppers and delivering a bit of joy with the one
and only Furby - the hottest toy from the late 90's - all available
to consumers on TikTok. It's a fun and festive way to shop,
motivating people to conquer their holiday shopping lists while
spending responsibly with Afterpay."
Nearly 50% of Gen Z consumers are looking to the Afterpay
platform for gift list inspiration this season2. The
Impossible List Finder campaign on TikTok is dedicated to
amplifying the feeling of ticking that last gift off your holiday
shopping list, with great items that can be found at the more than
100,000 global brands and merchants across multiple categories -
all on the Afterpay app.
