    i would maybe go for a choice of different rons. instant appreciation
    if they live here and have a house here maybe a small tree (mango, aguacate, limon).

    I often give a gift of the hand painted placemats and a matching tray

    there are also GREAT wooden salad sets, with beautiful individual bowls.

    both can be found at the Mercado Modelo

    Do not, under any circumstances, give them a tarantula under glass in a frame! It does not seem to go over very well.

    100 pounds of rice and 20 pounds of beans and they will adore you for life....

    There are beautiful Dominican "things" at the gift shop at Centro Leon in Santiago.

    A set of coffee cups is always nice. A lot depends on how close you are to the Bride and Groom...and what class of society they are. Some might not appreciate a fine set of collectable plates or a good painting....and would really appreciate that bag of rice.

    OP said a Dominican gift for a gringo wedding. What better than:

    Aunt Clara's Dominican Cookbook

    That's actually a good idea...one of the best cookbooks on this cuisine I've ever found. A true Dominican gift!
