Short answer: The best gift for a Raptors fan is a night at Scotiabank Arena. Tickets to a December or early-January home game start around $70 per ticket from verified season seat holders. Marquee games like the Lakers and Warriors start under $200, Lowry bobblehead night starts at $90, and Kyle Lowry's jersey retirement night starts at $375. For a smaller budget, a jersey from the team store, an arena tour or a pick from our sister site's two Raptors gift guides all land well.
Here's a Raptors fan gift guide built around real prices, sorted by budget, plus how to hand over tickets as a gift so they actually work on game day.

How to give tickets as a gift (so they work on game day)
Raptors tickets at Scotiabank Arena are scanned from your phone, so the gift is really a transfer into the recipient's Ticketmaster account. Two ways to do it:
- Keep it a surprise. Have the seller transfer the tickets to you, then forward them to the recipient closer to the date. You can wrap a printed card with the game, date and seats in the meantime.
- Send them straight there. Ask the seller to transfer directly to the recipient's email. When they tap Accept, the tickets go into whichever Ticketmaster account they sign in with.
Either way, the recipient has to accept the transfer in their own account; a screenshot of a ticket won't scan. Don't worry if there's no barcode right away: for Raptors games, it only appears in the app 48 hours before tip-off. Our Ticketmaster transfer checklist walks through every step, including what to do if a transfer doesn't show up.
Gifts that aren't tickets
A jersey or cap from the team store
Real Sports Apparel, at Gate 1 of Scotiabank Arena, is the official team store for the Raptors and Leafs. It's open to the public through the arena's Galleria outside game nights, and to ticketed fans during games. A jersey pairs well with tickets to the same game.
A behind-the-scenes arena tour
Scotiabank Arena runs guided tours that include the Raptors and Leafs dressing rooms, the Raptors' in-arena practice court and the media gondola. Tour dates are released a few weeks ahead and don't run on concert days, and the team dressing rooms are closed on that team's home game days. Check scotiabankarena.com/tours for current dates and prices before you promise a date.
Personalized ideas from our sister site, GiftSolutions.AI
Disclosure: GiftSolutions.AI is run by Tan & Fam Inc., the same company behind Tickets 4 Fans. Some product links on that site are affiliate links, so we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no cost to you.
If the Raptors fan on your list already has the jersey and the bobblehead, GiftSolutions.AI has two Raptors gift guides, and no two picks are the same kind of gift. That's the point: a devoted fan doesn't need a second ornament set.
- Raptors gifts for game day: things to wear, carry, drive with, play with or drink from
- Raptors gifts for the fan cave: things for the wall, the couch, the shelf and the tree
- The gift finder, with "a Toronto Raptors fan" already filled in, if you want something narrower
Gifting tickets to a Leafs fan instead?
The same approach works for the Maple Leafs, who share Scotiabank Arena. Leafs home games are on our Leafs schedule; if nothing is listed for the game you want yet, set a seat alert on its page and you'll hear the moment tickets go up. For a themed night, see our Leafs theme nights guide.
