As as I am aware there isn't really a major tradition in gifts like this.
Personally I'd say it's enough that you are agreeing to be Maid of Honor, however, if it were my sis getting married an me the maid then i'd be going down the path of the following:
- purchasing something for the wedding that they may have wanted but couldn't get or weren't too sure about.
-pitching in with parents gift?
- looking at gift registry or asking them if there's anything that they'd like
- maybe purchasing a special photo and having it framed
- brides' shoes?
- something for their honeymoon like a massage or something that can be done when they are away (depends on also where they go of course, it might be local tourist attraction or something)
- offer your services post-wedding like helping sort out gifts and thank yous or something.
Good Luck! My sis IS my maid and she's already doing my hair, make up and making sure I don't turn into hysterics so for her she can just be there for me. Though my sis did promise me my first couch. lol

A card is an absolute must. A gift would be appropriate, but it can be a smaller token gift. You probably footed the bill for the bachelorette party and bridal shower so the bride isn't expecting you to buy her a bread machine. Just get them something small and sentimental to show your respect to the bride and groom as a couple.

I know it's a pretty old thread, but the question still remain.
I recently found the solution to this problem by giving a Christmas bauble with personalised wishes written on them (I was fortunate enough cause they got married during Christmas). It came safely wrapped with a gift bag and stand, so it was a present ready to go. I think a young couple appreciated it since it's on display on every Christmas since they got married ;-)
Anyway, always another option. I bought gift from: http://uk.baubles4you.com/
Hope it will help someone...

As a sibling you can give a slightly larger gift if you are able, just choose something in the 3 figure range off their registry or write them a check. The gift should be for both of them but if you want to give your sister something special in addition, go ahead. You might find something she likes that's handmade on etsy.com.

Hi. I don't know about a gift to both of them, but my sister is getting married in a few months and I'm her maid of honour and I'm getting her the pin shown in the link below.

If you want to get something for both of them, if they already live together and don't really need anything for their house, you could get them an 'experience' gift. For my husbands cousin and her (now) husband, we got a scenic cessna plane flight. There's also the option of things like hot air balloon ride and spa days.
Hope that helped :-)

You could consider giving them money for the honeymoon or buy something that they both can use for their home
