has he got a wedding list? if so pick something from that.
if he hasn't, get them vouchers for somewhere like House of Fraser or Debenhams, can't go wrong then and they can buy something they both want/need.

I am in the same boat! My brother is getting married in September though so I have some time to think about it. My brother has no registry, they have a fully furnished and detailed house already (they've been living together for years) and there was no shower. I am going to frame the wedding invitation so they will always have it to remember their day. I am keeping an eye on this question to see what everyone else says because I know I need to do more than that!
GREAT QUESTION!!!

Wedding Gifts For Brother

Why don't you go on the OXFAM website and buy a worthwhile gift from there? Chances are your bro and bride have everything they need. When I was asked to be godmother for my friends daughter I went online and bought a goat for a family in Africa, when her brother came along I bought a dozen fruit trees as a christening present. You get a card that you can personalise and send to the happy couple. Much better than a toaster any day of the week. I get most of my gifts there now and people really do benefit from them.

If they've registered, something off their registry will be great. If you want to personalize something for them--what about getting a collage frame, asking your mom and his fiancee's mom for pictures of them as children, then find a few pictures of them as a couple, then leave some empty spaces so that they can fill them in. You can even have a little brass/silverplated tag engraved with their names and their wedding date. Or even something like "Smith Family: Established July 7, 2007" Congrats to your brother, and have fun at the wedding!

Has he got a garden, or a decent terrace? When my brother got married, I got him a young apple tree in a two foot pot, which he kept on his balcony until he moved to a house with a garden, where it is now planted in the ground, and two years ago it gave about two dozen apples for the first time, coincidentally the same year my nephew was born. Everybody thought it was a great and highly original gift, which will last forever and give them fruit every year, and they'll think of me as they tuck into their apple pies!
Otherwise a set of matching towels or a toaster are good! :-)
Whatever you get, it's the thought that counts, no matter how corny it sounds, it's true.

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/avId4
Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:
- Start by understanding and being informed.
You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.
The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Nobody can have too many white towels, they go with everything, and they can be bleached. Also, bath sheets, large towels that wrap totally around even a large person, are very nice, and everyone can use them. I keep some on hand just in case.
A nice set of stainless utensils, or even a whole bunch of kitchen gadgets. I love gadgets. Buy something unusual, like an ice cream maker, waffle iron, but something you think they will use. Maybe a bread machine.
Gather recipes from friends and make a cook book especially for them.

When my brother got married I made sure that i chose him something that noone else would think of. I spent 2 or 3 weeks thinking about it and in the end I came up with a fax machine. It cost me 220 pounds but when I seen the look on their eyes it was worth every minute of sweating (thinking). My brother and mey (new) sister in law said to me it was the most thought out present they had had... So if you put a lot of thought into it they will really appreciate it then get divorced) BUT Its the one moment when you give them thr present that makes all the difference........................AH JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYTS WANTED.

Are they registered anywhere? If they registered for stuff, it means they want it, so you won't have to worry about them not liking it. Also, most people register for a wide range of things in all different price ranges, so you can stay within your budget. 100 pounds is like $150 US dollars, right? So I bet you can buy something really nice for that much. Try to avoid kitchen stuff, though- most everyone buys kitchen stuff for a wedding present.

Do you have a 'paint-it-yourself' pottery shop near you? The best gift we got was a large pasta dish, with our names and wedding date painted on it- and signed by every guest! The shop provides a special 'pen' for the guests to use, then it is returned to the shop to be glazed and fired. I gather it cost about £60- but is worth it!! My grandad has passed away since our big day, and it is lovely to have this plate on our wall.
Have a lovely day!!
