appropriate shower gift amount?

so apparently I am invited to a wedding shower...
i say apparently because i have not received an invitation - according to my MIL, the hosts requested my address and sent an invite to me and both of my SILs, but of the 4 of us, only MIL has received an invite. 

The shower is for MIL's neighbor's daughter. I could probably pick the girl out of a line-up (she attended our wedding and both my wedding and baby showers) - but I have no real relationship with this person. (She's not even a FB friend.) The only reason she attended my wedding/showers was because ILs hosted and added their neighbors to the guest list. 

The shower will be held the week that we've visiting, but I have no plans to attend - I had already asked other local family to gtg since i knew MIL had an obligation that day. 

So my questions - am I obligated to get a gift for this woman, and if so, what's a reasonable amount to spend?

    I'd send something off her registry and spend no more than $25 or throw MIL some coin and tell her to put your name on her card/gift.

    I don't think you're under any obligation to get a gift. IF you even get an invitation, just make sure you RSVP that you're not coming.
