I am very late in buying a wedding present for people who truly have everything.
Here are the facts:
They are incredibly wealthy. They can buy many things I cannot. They don't fly coach.
It is a second marriage and they were living together before getting married, so they have everything they want and need for their home.
While not frum, they are Jewish, and Judaica is probably my best bet, right?
Except they live very far away in a different part of the world, and the cost of even shipping a large item would be too much. I can buy something and give it to them when they visit, but it still can't be too large.
They are relatives and have been very generous to us.
What can I get them? It has to feel 'real' - not just a token. Would like to spend about $100- $150, but could go a bit higher to $200 or $250 if necessary.
Any ideas?

For those situations I like to get them something from Tiffany's. There's usually is a bowl, vase or challah knife in the $200 price range.

many ebay listings have very good international shipping. If you contact the seller they may put a personal note or wrap it.
A birkas habayis either silver and wood or gold on black velvet is nice

A specially carved challah board and knife. There are artists here in Yerushalayim who do this and ship all over the world, really beautiful stuff, we have used them in the past for such presents and they are great.

Do you know if any of them have a website? Looking for this type of thing. Sorry to hijack the OP.

Some other type of sefarim or books. his'n'her leather machzorim, siddurim, or chumashim. Maybe you can order this from a local to them website.

Seder plate. Most Jews have a Seder, even if they're otherwise secular. And few non-religious people would think to give a Seder plate as a gift. Have it shipped to them.

You can't go wrong with Michael Aram. They're in style, they're classy and they're in your price-range. You can get a little bowl, just big enough for dips, or salad tongs. Bloomingdales has a whole selection.
Or else, I like the idea of cookbooks. Maybe you can get a cookbook and a cookbook stand. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/.....75099
If you shop today both these stores are having sales.

A beautiful mezuzah can be nice. This website http://mezuzahstore.com/ has a wide price range with beautiful cases, and they provide a klaf as well.
Or how about a birchas habayis in hebrew and english, when I googled it, quite a few came up.

Are you crafty, artistic? If you make something for them that's one of a kind, they won't find it anywhere else!
If not, try Etsy. There are some amazing artists on there. I believe that you can even search by country of origin, which will save you a lot of money on shipping.
