This depends on who the missionary is and where they are going.
Above all, the best gift you can give a missionary is your support. They will be provided for temporally, but mission life is hard. Knowing that you are supporting and praying for them means more than anything. Give them a nice card or letter expressing your heartfelt feelings, and be sure to send them regular letters or e-mails of encouragement while they are in the mission field.
If you feel the need to give them a physical gift, honestly, money is always the most appreciated gift for a missionary - they don't want to try to fit anything else into their suitcase, and a missionary's spending allowance is generally very small. They recieve barely enough money to cover basic food and general expenses, so if they end up needing something extra - like a new pair of shoes - they ofen have to write home and ask for extra money to pay for it.
Many like to give missionaries books. This is a great gift but unfortunately missionaries are not supposed to read anything that is not scripture or in the official 'missionary library'. Also, books are just extra weight to lug around as you move every couple months. So unless you are giving them enough time to read the book before they leave, it isn't a very practical gift.
Some like to give missionaries stationary sets. This may have been great years ago, but now most missions prefer that the missionaries communicate with home via e-mail to save on postage costs. If they are going stateside, stamps are still a nice gift, as they may still want to send letters or cards.
Clothing is a good option, especially if you know they don't have some items they need. Men can always use an extra tie, white shirt, or pair of dress socks. Fun extras like tie tacks and lapel pins might be nice as well. Women can also need extra socks, shirts, and skirts or a nice bag to carry their books and supplies in all day.
Simple inexpensive religious jewelry is also a good option. It's small and lightweight and it can be nice to have little options when you feel like you are wearing the same thing every day.

What is the ration of men to women lds missionaries?
The exact ratio between men and women in the LDS missionary force is constantly changing, as missionaries leave and come home every week. However, generally, about 10% -20% of Mormon missionaries are women. The number of female LDS missionaries is expected to rise quite dramatically over the next several months as the minimum age requirement was lowered from 21 to 19, (as of October 2012) making a mission more accessible for many young women.
Was Brian Wimmer a Mormon Missionary?
There are 52,000 or so full-time LDS missionaries at any given time, so there's a good chance there is a person of that name has served an LDS mission.
Are you allowed to go to a church with lds missionaries you already know?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Hopefully this is a satisfactory answer: If LDS Missionaries invite you to church, then of course you can go. Nobody is turned away from LDS worship services. Most missionaries are also able to attend services of different denominations when invited. If you live in the area where the missionaries are serving, you can attend the congregation they are serving in, regardless of whether or not you know the missionaries there. The Church strongly requests that family members and friends do not visit missionaries while they are serving unless they have made prior arrangements with the Mission President. If you are a relative or friend from home, you should not attend the congregation where your missionary is serving unless you have recieved permission from the Mission President, it is much to distracting to the missionaries to recieve surprise visits from home. In short, if you knew the missionary prior to them becoming a missionary, check with them or with the Mission President before visiting their congregation.
What are some of the missionaries goals?

How does a 12 yr old girl tell a 20yr old male LDS missionary that she is in love with him?
she doesn't, even if she thinks shes in love with him she probably isn't and telling him will most likely hurt her in the long run
When were the LDS allowed in the LDS church?
I don't know why you asked that question. "LDS" means "Latter Day Saints" and refers to anyone who is a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or LDS church. That is pretty self explanatory. So the LDS were ALWAYS allowed in the LDS church because the LDS church is made up of only LDS people. Duh.
Can friends email LDS Missionaries?
Yes they can, so long as the message contains only those things which will be uplifting to the Missionary. Remember they are called to bring people to Christ, they cannot do this if the message received causes them to detract from their purpose.
Can a non-member of the LDS join an LDS dating website?
I'm not sure, it probably depends on the site since LDS-specific sites are usually full of LDS members looking to date other LDS members. LDSSingles.com, LDSPlanet.com, LDSMingle.com, and LDSSingleSite.com are a few LDS dating sites you can try.
