What is a sub-account?
A sub-account is used to create wishlists on behalf of others – for example your child, your partner, or a family member.
Sub-accounts are especially relevant if the person does not have their own profile – often due to the age limit of 15 years.
A sub-account does not function as an independent profile and therefore cannot add friends or be managed separately.
👉 That’s why we have introduced a new feature – Kids Profiles, which we recommend for children, as they are designed to provide a safer and more child-friendly experience.
Ønskeskyen’s recommendation: Use Kids Profiles for children
If you are creating wishlists for children, we recommend using Kids Profiles instead of sub-accounts.
With Kids Profiles, you get:
A safe and secure space for the child
Better overview of the child’s wishes
Features tailored specifically for children
Sub-accounts still work and can be used during a transition period – or for purposes other than children.

How do I create a sub-account?
You can create a sub-account for your profile in two ways.
1. Creating via a wish list
Create a wish list as if it were your own.
Select "On behalf of your loved ones."
Name the wish list as needed.
Click on "Add sub-account."
Click on "Create sub-account" and enter the name, date of birth, and gender.
Click "Create sub-account."
The sub-account is now created, and you will be returned to the wish list, where under "Other people" you can select the sub-account and start adding wishes.
2. Creating via your account settings
Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Account."
Scroll almost to the bottom, where you’ll see "Other people."
Click on "Create sub-account."
Enter the name, date of birth, and gender, then click "Create sub-account."
Once the sub-account is created, it will be visible under "Other people" in your account settings. Here, you can also edit and delete sub-accounts.
