As I’ve said before, if you purchase subtle pieces, seasonal jewelry can be used all year round. I recently found this site:
There are several beautiful necklaces — and gifts for men, too!
A necklace is inexpensive to mail, which is great news if your missionary is serving overseas, but beware of investing in an expensive gift is there’s a chance the package won’t arrive.
For anyone whose missionary will be in the MTC for St. Patrick’s Day, you might consider this option: Four Leaf Clover Cookies from Called2Serve.com
I have no experience with this site, but I’d love to hear feedback from those who have use it in the past–any good?
I was so excited when I found this! Bath & Body Works makes Clover Lotion ~ how perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, or anytime during Spring. Here’s the page where you can order online: Clover and Aloe Scents
I recently attempted to purchase some clothes for my cousin, who’s serving in Korea. After striking out at several stores, I had to return home empty handed. I thought I’d start posting clothing pieces I come across. This lovely top is from Downeast Outfitters, a definite go-to store for cute modest wardrobes. Be sure to check the specific standards for each mission before committing to anything!
Whether your missionary is serving in the next county or a separate continent, breakfast cereal is one food that can definitely make the trip. For St. Patrick’s Day, you can’t miss with Lucky Charms — every kid knows this is one of the special cereals that only surfaced at Grandma’s house. But as one blogger recently learned, they’re good for you, too! You can send a regular-sized box, or a couple single-serving packs. Be sure to include some green plastic bowls and spoons!
Tip: you can visit the General Mills website for coupons.

Additional Tips: see if you can find a plastic jar (like a peanut butter jar) so that the end result weighs less. This will be beneficial for those of you who are shipping overseas.
