The Story Behind ninnie + nanny




Hi, I’m Allie, the owner and maker behind ninnie + nanny.
If you’ve ever wondered where the name comes from, it’s rooted in the people who have loved, encouraged, and shaped me throughout my life.
Growing up, my parents called me “ninnie.” They have always been my biggest cheerleaders, encouraging every dream, idea, and creative adventure along the way. The “nanny” in ninnie + nanny is a tribute to my grandmother, who believed I could do just about anything I set my mind to. While she didn’t teach me to sew (I’m completely self-taught!), her confidence in me helped fuel the determination and creativity that eventually led to this business.
I’m also incredibly grateful for my husband and stepkids, whose encouragement and support have been a constant source of strength as I’ve built this woman-owned small business.
ninnie + nanny was born from a simple idea: baby gifts should be both beautiful and useful. As someone who loves thoughtful details and practical solutions, I wanted to create handmade baby gifts that parents would genuinely use while also celebrating the joy of welcoming a new baby.
Each gift is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted right here in Texas. From personalized bibs and burp cloths to sensory tag blankets, teethers, and curated baby gift crates, every piece is made with quality materials, attention to detail, and lots of love.
What started as a creative outlet has grown into a business dedicated to helping families celebrate life’s sweetest moments. Whether you’re shopping for a baby shower, welcoming a new little one, or searching for a meaningful personalized gift, I’m honored to create something special that becomes part of a family’s story.
Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to be a small part of your most treasured celebrations.
Welcome to ninnie + nanny.
