My cousin is getting married (first guy in the immediate family on mom side) so its kind of a big deal. I need help figuring out what to get him as a wedding gift
Here are some of the problems though
1) wedding is over seas so it has to be something nice yet still be able to fit in suitcase
2) Its in the middle east so rule out the XXX
3) He's not much of a jewelry wearer so that rules out a watch
4) I thought about getting him a custom made suit from here but 1) He would never give me his measurements 2) Probably cost 1/2 less over there anyways
5) Cologne is to blah of a wedding gift.
6) I thought about those gucci shoes in the other tread but those would probably get stolen
Only thing that I can think of is a nice DSLR camera.
guys have any suggestions?

Yeah, get him something his wife wants or cash or she'll hate you forever.

Ive never met the soon to be wife, I go visit back home every 3-4 years for a week or two to visit grandparents, cousins, etc so her being mad at me wont be a big deal. I have always stayed with him in the past until this time when ill be staying and grandma's house. Thus why I want it to be a nice gift. No such thing as a registry over there and cash is viewed as being disrespectful (at least in our family)

Don't get them "stuff", but rather an experience. Concert tickets, spa package, nights in a posh hotel, etc.
These are much more memorable than a blender.

Whatever you do, don't get them any sort of kitchen appliance! Or any appliance for that matter.
Everybody gets a fucking juicer or blender or some shit and it never gets used.
Go for money, or gold. I'm Turkish and at weddings people give the couple gold.

Try to find you what is he going for honeymoon and buy something related to it: A travel kit, for example.
Or, as PDX said a grooming day before the wedding: spa, massage...
And a killer bachelor party!

The best gift you can give him is to whisper in his ear "Don't do it".

Get him a lawyer that can draw up an ironclad prenup.
