    As far as your question regarding the tie clip....I see no reason why you couldn't give him one.  What a great momento of his mission after he got home.

    And he'll still be an Elder when he's released, at least until he's made a High Priest.  I'm with @pam, I think it would make a good gift.

    Thank you @pam and @zil for the answers! I'm a bit new to the church and a bit unfamiliar with the titles haha. I just realized the fact that Melchizedek priesthood holders are really all Elders!.. although they aren't personally called Elder [last name] 24/7 unless they're a missionary/general authority/area seventies.

    I'll be sure to give it to him. I'm glad you think it's a good gift! :)

    So, this Christmas I plan to get a nice tie clip for one of the missionaries in my ward, to thank him for helping me out so much. The tie clip is small, silver, and is basically engraved "Elder Winston" (Winston as an example of a last name).

    My concern is, will he be allowed to wear that during his mission? I think missionaries aren't allowed to wear tie clips with characters on them?

    Also, what about once he goes home from his mission, could he wear that tie clip to church?? I mean the tie clip does say "Elder" Winston on it and he wouldn't really be an "Elder"/missionary at that point? I know I sound pretty paranoid, but it's just because I assume since missionaries hand in their black name tags at the end of their mission, the title "Elder" is somewhat sacred and only a full time missionary can have this title.
