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.
2026 Calendar
A calendar with inspiring artwork, like Kate Lee's 2026 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.
Classic Missionary Journal
This journal is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry wherever your missionary goes. Available in a variety of colors, the durable faux leather binding is designed to last.
Diorama Nativity
A vibrant and lightweight nativity will add some color to your missionary's apartment. They could even take it with them through transfers or use it during lessons.
Plan of Salvation Wood Puzzle
An interactive teaching tool like a puzzle could be a welcome addition to your missionary's 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.

Missionary Ornament
Help your missionary remember this special time for years to come with a customized ornament with their mission name and date on the back.
Cozy Socks
Socks always make for a fun and practical Christmas present. You could send a cozy pair to keep their feet warm during scripture study or a stylish, thin pair to make days of walking more comfortable.

Gospel-Centered Art Pieces
Frequent missionary transfers means often getting used to a new apartment, a new area, or a new companion. You could send your missionary a new beautiful piece of art to help bring some consistency to all that change and transform an unfamiliar area into a new home.

A tiny reminder of Christ, like a tiny Christus statue, would be easy to ship and make for a beautiful and portable decoration in any apartment.

This microfiber towel was designed with elders and sisters in mind. Luxuriously soft and incredibly durable, it will make life easier for your missionary! Unlike traditional cotton towels, microfiber towels last longer through repeated washes, do not cause hair-damaging friction and frizz, catch dirt and bacteria more easily, and won’t leave lint debris behind.

A sweet and meaningful gift for any missionary, this sun mountain pin set comes carded with a “Go Be Great.” Made of hard enamel and silver or gold toned metal with a rubber clasp.
