Since the meal seems to be well in hand, your friend should probably lean toward bringing a host/hostess gift instead of something for the table (unless they've specifically asked for a dish to pass)!.
Candies, nuts, small floral arrangement, nice holiday-scented candle or sachets would all be nice!.

Homemade cranberry sauce!. Its easy!. You boil one cup of sugar with one cup of water then add the bag of fresh cranberries!. YUMMY! The recipe is on the back of the bag of FRESH cranberries!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You can ask your brother in law if a veggie tray, relish tray or bottle of dessert wine would be more appreciated!. I would welcome any one into my home that had a great bottle of Moscato!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Beverages are always a safe choice!. Wine, juice, soft drinks, whatever seems best!. If they're not consumed at the Thanksgiving table, they'll be enjoyed later!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree with many others on here about wine but for a twist, maybe a good scotch or whiskey depending on the crowd!. I would like a Riesling wine if I came!. : )Www@FoodAQ@Com
A bottle of wine would be appropriate!. Or some nice chocolates if they don't drink alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Find out what your hosts like to drink and have him supply it I'm sure it won't go to waste even if they already have beverages this can be put aside for a later dateWww@FoodAQ@Com
Gourmet coffee!. Even it it doesn't get served it's always a nice gift!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
