With the continuous enhancement of China's comprehensive strength and the increasing satisfaction of basic living needs, there is a growing demand for spiritual and cultural experiences. Cultural and creative products, serving as vital instruments for urban cultural promotion, still suffer from serious homogenization and lack of localized uniqueness. From the perspective of "neo-cultural creativity," this paper explores how urban gift design can satisfy contemporary aesthetic needs while highlighting the individualized characteristics of urban culture. Through literature reviews and case analyses, the current status, opportunities, and challenges of the urban gift industry are examined, and targeted strategies for innovation and development are proposed. Taking the Han opera "Cosmic Edge" as an entry point, this paper investigates the application of Han opera elements in modern design, and how these integrations can enhance cultural value and communication impact, offering practical guidance for the inheritance and promotion of Hubei's regional culture.
