Gift advice for a best man please

Hi everybody I'm about to be best man for my lifelong friend. He and his partner already live together and have politely asked for no gifts except money. I realise this is normal for people who already have kettles toasters etc but as best man I would like to give them something unique and personal... any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

    they go skiing every year, that's 1st thing that springs to mind. Other than that I suppose they quite like entertaining, as in parties, bbqs etc
