Support Handmade!

Our mission at NannyGram is to provide quality, handcrafted baby gifts -- and while doing so, to support knitters like Nanny and our entire network of talented knitters throughout New England. Creating handmade, handcrafted, non-mass produced items is core to who and what we are. It's why we do what we do every day. We're passionate about it. And, it is absolutely inspiring to be part of this incredible group to support handmade.

"When you send a NannyGram, you send an heirloom."

An Update in Bloggers ... and Time to Shop


Yes, dear readers, it's been quiet here on AskNanny. And, so, Nanny (my mom) has asked me to step up to the blogging plate. Nanny's been keeping busy knitting, which is the way she likes it ... but she's been feeling a bit guilty for not keeping up with the blog. Our hope is to have Nanny pop in from time to time to respond to AskNanny questions -- and in the meantime, I'll share updates on all things NannyGram, handmade, and baby.

NannyGram is all about promoting the beauty and value of handcrafted, heirloom baby gifts. But, we think everyone dear to us -- not just the babies -- should receive a gift this holiday season that has not been mass-produced. That's one of the reasons why we're keen to support independent artisans and crafters this holiday season. We've already begun our Christmas shopping at Indie Collective's Holiday Gift Guide (and, yes, we're a guide sponsor). If you haven't checked out this terrifc guide yet, give them a try -- avoid the mall and off-the-shelf gifts this year!
