What is an appropriate gift to give at a traditional Chinese wedding?

I am going to Taiwan in September for a friends wedding. What is an appropriate gift. I know of a red envelope containing money in increments of 4 or 8...like $88 or $440 dollars. Anything else?

Giving money is perfect because the couple can spend it on anything they want. Just do that, because what if you get a really crappy expensive gift that they don't even like?

Lame(kind of offensive too)= rice/chopstick answers.
