Giving a gift if not attending bridal shower

I was not able to attend a bridal shower. I'm not particularly close to the bride. I did send a card and my recipe (for one of their activities). Should I still send a gift?
I certainly don't want to offend anyone. Thanks!

Dear Weddingcraze,

You are not obligated to send a gift if not attending.

Best wishes,
