Feb. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- The owner, Yvonne Carlson,  of online store The British Bazaar tells us that she's "getting ready for the rush" as expatriate Irish in the USA and Canada get ready to participate in their local celebrations.

"Falling on a Wednesday in 2010 it is highly likely that everyone will be celebrating both the weekend prior and after the 17th March" she says.

Although there are dozens of stores selling souvenir items vying to get everyone into the Paddy Day mood The British Bazaar offers a more upmarket store experience which focuses on quality and longevity.  To explain Yvonne directs us to handmade soaps sculpted into the shape of Ireland complete with raised clover or to those which feature the Irish Flag. Both selections are a perfect inexpensive gift or for a guest bathroom at home.  

The Foska range of sportswear from Britain is well represented on the site and includes Irish flag road jersey's for men.  "Although designed specifically for cyclists you don't have to be a cyclist to wear one" says Yvonne "as just like any football or baseball shirt for example a road jersey can be worn for anything from walking the dog or when out jogging to wearing at your local St. Patrick's Day Parade!".

If design for the home is your thing then the shatterproof mirrors in the shape of the UK and Ireland will be your choice.  The two mirror set is a real conversation piece whether placed within the home, den, office or down at your local Irish pub.  Simple to affix to any dry flat surface this lightweight set is easily gifted to Irish pals as it comes packed in a sturdy, thick calendar card envelope.

After St. Patrick's Day The British Bazaar will be switching emphasis to England's presence in the soccer World Cup where they face the USA in their opening match on June 12th and the quirky online store already has in stock everything from Toddler Wear for the Terraces to 3-lions road jerseys and water bottles.
