    Is it a close family member like one of his siblings? Maybe just a token gift like a photo frame or something?

    No gift, you don't know these people.

    No you don't buy them a present, but if you can afford 10-30 euro maybe ask him if you can contribute towards what he's getting them. If you can't afford it then don't worry about it.

    The gift is down to him, the invitation is primarily to him.

    Absolutely not, you were asked as a plus one, the primary invitee buys the gift (if they so choose)

    ...probably wouldn't hurt to ask your friend if they would like you to contribute to the present but you shouldn't feel obliged to.
