My brother is getting married next week and I would like to send him and his wife something unique from Korea. Does anyone know where I can find the traditional wedding ducks that are seen at Korean weddings? Any other ideas for a nice gift to send a couple that is unique to Korea?

The fastest way to find a set would be to pop into the souvenir store at any historical site

or drop into Insadong. They are all over the place.

You can also find them in Namdaemun.

Don't go to Insadong. Go to Namdaemun - they are significantly cheaper. There's an entire building dedicated to Korean souvenirs like the wedding ducks. Most ducks should be priced from 10,000 to 50,000+ depending on how fancy you want. Some come with nice gift boxes with cloth gift wrap which look pretty nice.

Don't buy wedding ducks in Itaewon. I went in there last fall to price some out and I got an identical pair from Insadong for 1/3rd the price that I was quoted in Itaewon.
