November 1 already-must finish holiday shopping!

So I can't believe it is November 1st! We had a fantastic time trick or treating last night and after a small break from the blog I am ready to come back and start the gift guide and holiday shopping ideas. Now as I have said my in laws will be the most difficult when it come to finding something they like and is practical. Have you ever heard or Amazigg? It is amazon products featured on digg that can make holiday shopping super easy! Now my brother in law likes two things-bacon & beer....we bought him a growler from one of the local breweries last year so I was thinking of doing something bacon themed. Now my idea was just to get some things for him to use on the grill until I found the bacon flavored jelly beans and a four pack of bacon flavored lip balm. What do you think-something that will be funny or it won't go over well? I figure with the col on the way everyone could use some lip balm! I will await your response and see if we should go with the "bacon basket" or stick with a growler and a beer mug. Happy shopping!
