Why “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.

Yes! Such a great way to really personalize a gift. We can embroider with a monogram or a name(s). We typically add a monogram to bandanas + bibs and a name to our tag blankets. For monograms, last name initial will be in the center with first name initial on the left + middle name initial on the right. For example, Allison Cahill Votava would be AVC. For names, you can have the first or the first + middle added. Some products are not ideal for embroidery. If your order includes an item that is not, we will be in touch to modify your order or refund the cost of embroidery. Embroidered items are not eligible for return. Please note that adding embroidery to your order will add a minimum of 3 - 5 days production.
