I'm thinking practical (that's me). If you know where she's going, you might consider a gift card for a store chain in that area (if doable), so she can buy stuff she needs while she's in the field (pantyhose, feminine needs, etc.). Missionaries have limited baggage allowance and budgets.

I don't know about funny, but I would get her a miniature hymnal. If she's going foreign-speaking, try to get one in her new language.

CASH CASH CASH. Funny gifts end up in a box and stored at home and later thrown in the trash.

Journal

Everytime she writes in it, she'll think of you. (And you can put something funny INSIDE it.)
