Holly gets the attention for its red berries, though several ivy species fruit as well, usually in white or pale yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat they have meant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Christian symbolism holly stands for the infant Jesus and ivy for the Virgin Mary. Old World heraldry read holly as a sign of truth. Elsewhere it was thought to ward off evil, especially with the leaves worn in the hair — a protective quality ivy shares, with love and friendship added to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour wreath designs make up the 2019 set. Given the histories attached to these two plants, a holly-and-ivy wreath is about as well-credentialed as a front door gets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forever Stamp Center","offers":[{"title":"100 Stamps (5 Books)","offer_id":47100613198023,"sku":"ST19-A3-5","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 Stamps (15 Books)","offer_id":47100613230791,"sku":"ST19-A3-15","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Stamps (25 Books)","offer_id":47100613263559,"sku":"ST19-A3-25","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 Stamps (50 Books)","offer_id":47100613296327,"sku":"ST19-A3-50","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5000 Stamps (250 Books)","offer_id":47100613329095,"sku":"ST19-A3-250","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/6250\/4647\/files\/d-45-1-1_1540fa14-d6ae-4cd7-b4fd-322797529465.jpg?v=1788604553","url":"https:\/\/www.foreverstampcenter.com\/products\/forever-stamps-2019-holiday-wreaths-christmas-first-class-postage","provider":"center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
