In Chinese culture, festive gifts embody profound cultural meanings and a strong sense of ritual, fostering emotional connections between consumers and traditional celebrations. As consumer demand for ritualistic experiences in festive contexts increases, modern festive gifts place greater emphasis on design and creativity. Exquisite designs and compelling brand narratives can enhance the perceived value and appeal of these gifts, thereby boosting sales and promoting local tourism. Cultural ritual plays a critical role in this process by deepening consumers’identification with and participation in festive culture. However, existing research lacks a validated scale for measuring cultural ritual in product design. To address this gap, the present study developed a new measurement scale and investigated the impact of cultural ritual on consumer satisfaction and place attachment—comprising both place dependence and place identity—within the context of festive gift products. The results indicate that cultural ritual significantly enhances consumer satisfaction and exerts a partial mediating effect through place identity. In contrast, while place dependence is positively predicted by cultural ritual, it does not significantly influence satisfaction, highlighting the heterogeneous roles of the two dimensions of place attachment within the mediation process. These findings suggest that incorporating cultural ritual elements in the design and promotion of festive gifts can improve consumer experience and strengthen emotional bonds with local culture. This study provides practical insights for tourism-related industries, cultural product design, and branding strategies, and establishes a theoretical foundation for future research. |
