    1. Pernyetta/Gaultheria (but I don't think this is right because I think I got this wrong last year)
    2. Aucuba variegata
    3. Skimmia

    First one looks like Butcher's Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) and the second one is Spotted laurel (Aucuba japonica) it's probably the female cultivar 'Crotonifolia' But I'm afraid I don't Know the 3rd
