GiftLyst Launches the Caribbean's First All-Inclusive Gift Registry Platform

Kingston, Jamaica — September 6, 2026 — GiftLyst officially launched at Wedding Fest 2026, held at the AC Hotel, introducing the Caribbean's first all-inclusive gift registry platform. The launch marks a new standard for gift-giving in the region, giving users the ability to combine their favorite online and local stores into a single registry, with every fee already built in, at no cost to the user.

A First for the Caribbean

Until now, Caribbean shoppers looking to build a gift registry have had to choose between local stores and international retailers, often navigating unpredictable shipping costs and customs fees when the gifts arrive. GiftLyst eliminates that trade-off entirely.

For the first time, users can browse and add items from Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and a growing network of local Jamaican brands all within one registry, on one platform.

100% Free, All Fees Included

At the center of GiftLyst's launch is its all-inclusive pricing model. Every item price displayed on the platform already includes shipping and customs fees where applicable, meaning the price a guest sees is the final price they pay.

"We wanted gifting to feel more personal," said Andrew Smith, Founder of GiftLyst. "You shouldn't have to pay to collect a gift that someone already purchased for you, and you should be getting more than just a plain Amazon box."

Bringing Local and International Shopping Together

By combining international retailers with local Jamaican businesses on a single platform, GiftLyst allows registry creators to build lists that reflect both global brands and homegrown Caribbean businesses while giving local vendors direct access to a new customer base of gift-givers across the region and abroad.

Every order placed through GiftLyst also arrives in a complimentary gift bag, adding a thoughtful finishing touch to every purchase.

Launch Event: Wedding Fest 2026

GiftLyst introduced the platform to the public on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at Wedding Fest 2026, hosted at the AC Hotel. The event gave engaged couples and wedding guests an early look at how GiftLyst simplifies the registry experience — from setup to checkout — ahead of a broader rollout across Jamaica.
