Bringing holly indoors for Christmas is believed to ensure a year of good luck! Ilex Verticillata or Winterberry is a species of holly, native to Canada and the US. The bare branches covered in berries make irresistible floral arrangements and our studio is brightened by them over the Christmas period. It’s the one time of year when a lot of us still practice a few folk customs. To profit from the power of holly, Celts would hang sprigs in their windows and over the door to keep witches and evil spirits away. Since it was well known that only good people could enter a house protected that way,

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as GILLIES JONES GLASS LIMITED, number 05848035. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
