The Pelicans have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in recent years, built around Zion Williamson's rare combination of power and athleticism. Whether you're shopping for a lifelong New Orleans fan or someone who fell in love with the team during Zion's debut season, there are a few gifts that go way beyond the standard jersey. Here are the picks worth considering.
Zion Williamson 8-Card Premium Plaque
This is the centerpiece gift for any serious Pelicans fan. Eight real licensed Zion Williamson cards, from Donruss, Hoops, and Fleer sets, are mounted together in a 12x15 display piece that looks great in a fan cave. Zion has been appointment viewing since he was drafted first overall in 2019, and a display like this captures that era in a tangible way. Ships fast and arrives ready to hang. The exact cards may vary slightly from the ones pictured, but you will always get genuine licensed cards of this player.

2024-25 NBA Hoops Factory Sealed Team Set
For the fan who actually collects, a factory-sealed team set is a satisfying gift that feels more personal than anything you can grab at a mall. This is the full 2024-25 New Orleans Pelicans set from NBA Hoops, sealed straight from the factory. Every card from the team in one clean package. Zion is in there, and so is the rest of the current roster. Great for a fan who already has a collection going, or for someone you want to get started.

20-Card Multiyear Pelicans Team Pack
This one is a smart grab if you want a little variety. Twenty Pelicans cards pulled from multiple years of Topps and Panini sets, so you get a cross-section of the roster across recent seasons. At nine dollars it is the easiest yes in the catalog, and it works as a standalone gift or as something to tuck inside a card with something bigger. Good for younger fans or anyone just getting into collecting.
