What kind of wedding present to buy for brother living abroad?

My brother emigrated to new zealand 6 years ago and he's getting married next month to a nz girl. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go as my baby is due the week of the wedding I have never met the girl he is marrying but I've spoken to her on skype and she seems lovely. Normally, I would just send money in a card to them but she seems quite traditional and devout and I'd be afraid that this might offend her. Also, I don't know what the precedence for gifts is over there. They are both nearing their 40s and she owns her own house which is furnished so homeware is out. They don't have a gift registry. Can anyone give me any advice as to what I might send them? I was thinking that something with a irish theme might be nice, or maybe something involving a blessing that she would appreciate (if that makes any sense?) Thanks

My OH's grandmother wrote on a catholic card that she got us a mass. I think you get a mention and a blessing or some sort. Neither of us is religious, but we knew she meant well. If your future sister-in-law is religious (catholic) you could do that, but I wouldn't make that the main gift really.
If they don't have a registry then I think it's safe to assume they're ok with cash. That's often a tell-tale sign in Ireland. You can always post a small token gift in addition to the cash.
or maybe Irish art? Where is he from in Ireland? There's a few places and markets that sell paintings of the local town.
