Personalized Leather Journals

Missionary Journals are one of the most important keepsakes from a mission. While on the mission, it’s crucial for recording important thoughts and inspirations. Afterward, it will be a treasure trove of memories. Because journals often go everywhere with missionaries, make sure you pick one that will last. We are so confident in the longevity of our journals, we offer a Lifetime Guarantee! If you know that your missionary will go through the journal quickly, consider gifting them our refillable journals and keep them stocked with refills throughout their mission! Personalize your missionary’s journal with our “Called to Serve” stamp or our “I Will Go and Do” stamps or personalized names and/or initials. Pair the journal with these uplifting pens from Doodle Beads, and this will be a gift that your missionary will be able to treasure!

Luggage Tag

Missions put the phrase, "living out of a suitcase", to the test. Missionaries are used to packing up and moving at a moments notice. Their whole life can fit into those few suitcases. Luggage tags are the perfect gift for your missionary. While serving the practical purpose of providing important information, personalized leather luggage tags will also let your missionary know that you are thinking about them. 

Accessories

Sometimes you may just want to grab a smaller item to let a missionary know that you’re thinking about them. Personalized bookmarks, keychains, and lanyards are always something small but meaningful to missionaries. These things are useful and don't take up much space in a suitcase. The most important thing that you'll send them out with, however, will always be your love and support!
