Early St. Patrick's Day means consumers must order green gear soon

Feb. 22, 2008 - PRLog -- St. Patrick's Day is being celebrated early this year in many communities because March 17 falls during Holy Week for the first time in 40 years.  Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Savannah have already announced their parades will come before Holy Week, mostly on Friday, March 14.  That means the time is now for consumers to order their  green gear if they want to be ready for the parade or pub crawl.

    With millions of Irish and St. Patrick's Day t-shirt designs available on the web, consumers don't have to settle anymore for the standard "Kiss Me I'm Irish" tee of years past.  The marketplace at Cafepress, for example, boasts "56,500 designs on 2,030,000 products" for the search term 'st patricks day'.  The search term 'Ireland' nets "53,900 designs on 1,500,000 products".  The products of course range from t-shirts in red, white, black and military green to the infamous thong.

     Some of the most unusual St. Patrick's Day t-shirts are offered by Leprechaun Gifts, a Cafepress "shop" that specializes in Irish and St. Patrick's Day items.  Here you can find t-shirts that say "St. Patrick is My Homeboy", "Kiss My Shamrocks" (with strategically placed shamrocks), "Defend Ireland", "Pog Mo Thoin" (Irish for Kiss My Ass), "Brian Boru is My Homeboy", "St. Patrick Hates You" (reminiscent of last winter's "Santa Claus Hates You" t-shirt sensation), and around 100 more.  Many designs are family-friendly, and there is a large selection of t-shirts and gifts for those lucky few born on St. Patrick's Day itself.

Leprechaun Gifts is at www.leprechaungifts.com on the web, and t-shirts range in price from $12.99 up to $29.99.  Large buttons, small buttons, stickers, hats, beer steins, and more are also available.
