NBR- Wedding gift advice

in January 2014 Moms
My husband's best friend decided that he was getting married tomorrow last week and my DH and I were invited. Here's the issue, he is basically eloping so there is no registry. And to make matters worse, when my DH and I got married he gave up two large original pieces of art that I know took him months to complete. Today I have to figure out what to get him and I have no clue what to get. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am horrible at figuring out what to give people.

    An experience: Weekend stay at a hotel or skidiving lessons. Don't know your budget.

    For people I know who don't register I usually get them a nice "date night" gift. I get a gift card to a nice restaurant, bottle of wine, set of wine glasses (if I know they don't have a good set), and call it good.

    I like all those suggestions!! I was going to say tickets to something they like (music, sports, theater)?

    What's your budget like, and is he a wine drinker?  One of my friends got a year's subscription to a high end wine club, and every month received 3 bottles of nice wine - she still raves about that gift, particularly because it reminded her and her husband of their wedding throughout their first year of marriage...

    One of the neatest gifts we got when we got married was a pasta machine, an Italian cookbook, a set of crystal wine glasses and a nice bottle of wine.

    I'm so sorry I didn't respond all day. I was at work and mobile bump decided that I should only see posts from last month. 

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I like the idea of nice glasses and a bottle of something to go with it. Now it's up to my husband to decide if it's wine or hard liquor....

    A bottle of wine for each special event for the first year of marriage and write and attach a note to each bottle (i.e.: first Christmas together, first easter, first Bat mitzvah you celebrated as a couple....). I'm prob too late for this response!

    Update- I dragged my DH to the mall last night and he found a mason jar shaker for drinks. So he is getting that and a nice bottle of gin since he loves martinis.
