 In that case you want to establish a $ Dollar balance in your PayPal account and set it as primary. Then withdraw the funds which will then hit your PayPal account in Dollars, saving your currency exchange charges for the first time. Then buy you daughters present in US Dollars, saving you the currency exchange fee for the second time.

I keep three currency balances in PayPal, US $, €uro and British Pounds.
