What is a good gift for a female Mormon Missionary?
A very dear friend of mine is going on a Mormon mission soon, and I would like to get her something as a “good luck” present . I would like it to be thoughtful, meaningful, and practical, as I hear that missionaries have few belongings and sometimes move frequently. What would be an appropriate and useful gift? A: You’re right not to give her something bulky or unnecessary. Luggage space is at a premium for missionaries! Since your friend is a girl, you could always give her some simple jewelry. I know it sounds like a generic gift, but it really isn’t. This could just be me, but when I was on my mission, I…well, I looked pretty bad most of the time. I was always literally dripping sweat or bundled up to the point where I looked like an even fatter version of the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I had perpetual helmet hair. I don’t exactly have self-esteem issues and usually don’t care too much about my appearance, but a simple necklace or pair of earrings made me feel a little more presentable.
