If you have a missionary serving internationally, its never too early to start gathering things for their Christmas package to ensure that their gifts are mailed out in time and arrive before December 25. Here are some of our favorite ideas of things to mail off to your Elder or Sister.
Missionary Stocking
Hanging stockings is a beloved Christmas tradition, so gift your missionary an adorable white shirt stocking so the mission field can feel a bit more like home this December.
2025 Calendar
A calendar with inspiring artwork, like this 2025 Hear Him Calendar, would make an especially thoughtful gift for your missionary, helping them to be a) organized, b) uplifted, and c) reminded of your love every time they look at it.
The Companion Bag 2.0
An on-the-go missionary is always in need of a way to carry things comfortably. A fresh new bag they could use every day would be a welcome gift for anyone to open on Christmas morning.
Called to Serve Leather Missionary 3-Ring Journal
A mission is a unique time in a young person’s life, and a journal is the best way to record the stories from this special period of service. Consider sending them a high-quality, personalized journal they will treasure for the rest of their lives.

Diorama Nativity
Consider sending something that will add some color and decor to your missionary’s apartment, like a vibrant and lightweight nativity. Your missionary could even take it with them through transfers or use it during lessons.
Plan of Salvation Wood Puzzle
Take into consideration what your missionary is doing all day. Have they mentioned having a lot of upcoming lessons or new investigators? An interactive teaching tool like a puzzle could be a welcome addition to their usual teaching methods.

Missionary Christmas Tree
Even a tiny missionary apartment has room for some kind of holiday decor. A mini Christmas tree might be just the thing their living space needs to appropriately deck the halls and remind them of holiday traditions at home.
Festive Neckties
For Elders, the dress code doesn’t vary much and what they do wear usually gets worn out quickly. But you could help liven up their everyday style by sending them a new tie, scarf, or socks for Christmas.
