Missionary Christmas Stocking
I love this cute idea. Buy an Elder or Sister stocking and fill it with their favorite treats or little momentos. Some things you could include in there are:
Scripture Pens
Vinyl Stickers
Gift Cards
Tie tacks
CTR Ring
Jewelry
Treats
Light the World Ornament
Light the World is literally what our missionaries are doing right now. So, this ornament might be the perfect addition to their little tree (or wall or door knob).
25 Days of Christ
This is a great tradition your missionary can start. They open a cute and simple ornament every day leading up to Christmas and read a little devotional that goes along with it. Plus, it packs up nice and small for transportation. Use code BECKYSQUIRE for 20% off!

Fit Where You Are – Missionary Workouts
What a cool idea! This Missionary Workout Kit includes a workout book, resistance bands, jump rope, door anchor, and travel size carrying case so your missionary can workout wherever they are!
And if sending packages is not really an option, here are a few unconventional ideas:
- Ask friends and family to each write an email to your missionary. Compile them or have them sent individually.
- Ask friends and family that don’t get to video chat with your missionary every week to all be there during one of your calls in December. What a surprise it will be for them to see all of their favorite people!
- Record some short clips of friends and family saying one or two things they love about your missionary and maybe a short testimony. Compile them into one video and send it to your missionary.
