Managing Family Profiles

Not everyone in your family needs their own Giverr account. Family Profiles let you create and manage wishlists on behalf of others — perfect for kids, pets, elderly relatives, or anyone who doesn’t want to manage their own account.

Tip

Family profiles work just like regular wishlists, but you manage them on behalf of someone else. The surprise is still preserved — you won’t see when gifts are claimed!

What Are Family Profiles?

A family profile is a person (or pet!) that you manage within Giverr. You can:

• Create wishlists for them
• Add gifts on their behalf
• Share their wishlists with family and friends
• Track their birthday for reminders

Common examples:

Profile Type	Example Use
Children	Create wishlists for kids too young for their own account
Pets	Fido needs treats too! Share pet wishlists with the family
Grandparents	Manage wishlists for relatives who aren’t tech-savvy
Babies	Set up a registry-style wishlist for a new baby

Creating a Family Profile

1. Go to Settings → Family Profiles
2. Click Add Profile
3. Fill in the details:
   • Name — Their name (or pet name!)
   • Birthday (optional) — For birthday reminders
   • Relationship — Child, Pet, Parent, Grandparent, etc.
4. Click Create Profile

Adding Wishlists for Family Profiles

Once you’ve created a profile, you can add wishlists just like you would for yourself:

1. Open the family profile
2. Click New Wishlist
3. Fill in the occasion details (birthday, holiday, etc.)
4. Add gifts by pasting URLs or entering manually

Note

Gifts you add to a family profile’s wishlist work exactly like your own — paste a product URL and Giverr extracts all the details automatically.

Sharing Family Profile Wishlists

Share a family member’s wishlist with your Gift Groups or via link:

1. Open their wishlist
2. Click Share
3. Choose to share with a Gift Group or copy the share link
4. Family and friends can now view and claim gifts

The Surprise Stays Safe

Here’s the magic: even though you manage the profile, you won’t see claim information. When someone claims a gift from your child’s or pet’s wishlist, it stays hidden from you — just like your own wishlists.

This means you can share little Timmy’s birthday wishlist with grandparents, aunts, and uncles, and they can coordinate without you knowing what’s been claimed.

Managing Multiple Profiles

You can create as many family profiles as you need. They all appear in your Family Profiles section, making it easy to:

• Switch between profiles
• Create wishlists for different occasions
• Keep everyone’s gift preferences organized

When to Use Family Profiles vs. Separate Accounts

Scenario	Recommendation
Young child (under 13)	Use a family profile
Teenager who wants independence	Create their own account
Pet	Use a family profile
Elderly relative who won’t log in	Use a family profile
Adult family member	They should have their own account

Next Steps

• Create your first family profile in Settings → Family Profiles
• Add a wishlist for an upcoming occasion
• Share it with your Gift Group so everyone can start claiming!
