The traditional gift at an Indian wedding is money. The amount should be an "auspicious" number ending in 1 -- $11, $21, $51, $101, $201, $501, etc. (or similar numbers in rupees, pounds, or what have you). Cash or a check is fine.
However, outside of India most Indian couples understand that giving money can be considered tacky and they don't expect it from their non-Indian friends. They've embraced the western tradition of giving housewares as gifts and many couples register at department stores. So the better answer is: give what you would give at a non-Hindu wedding.
Good luck! |

Keep in mind where the couple is going to settle. Remember if they are moving overseas they'll have to be carrying a lot of gifts with them. Since your friend is a jet setter I think it would be appropriate to ask him what he'd like. |

Hi,
What about a painting related to your country. Or a painting of something she loves.
http://www.paintyourlife.com/ have artists that will paint anything, you just provide them a picture.
They have real examples on site. Choose a smaller size for painting if you want it cheap.

Get them a George Foreman grill - he'll be able to cook himself a burger on those evenings when his wife is working late. |
