Any other teams besides the Red Sox honoring Mariano Rivera with ceremonies this year?
Besides the Yankees of course!
I haven't seen many teams that have ceremonies that honor an opposing player, have you?

All year long, every time he plays his final away game at any particular stadium, he has a meetup with local non-baseball people (fans, stadium staff, etc.) to chat with them before the game, then the team gives a gift and honors Rivera as the undisputed greatest person ever at his job. There are very few in the world who are so recognized.
It is very rare where a player retires who is so widely seen as a great person and also established a record so respected in baseball and still retires while able to play very well, leaving on such an incredible farewell tour. The first one to get this kind of send off was Cal Ripken Jr. when he announced his final season a few years after breaking Lou Gehrig's Iron Man record. Similarly, Chipper Jones received great honors in his final season last year. Most players with that kind of ability in their career have to be ripped off the field by injury or serious decline in ability and that usually kills the opportunity for such a great send-off.

Each MLB franchise has been honoring Rivera throughout the course of the season. Some have been more publicized than others. Of course the Yankees don't play every team in MLB however even those teams not on their schedule have, in some fashion, recognized Rivera and his Hall of Fame career.

Yes they all are and they did the same thing for Chipper Jones last season. The reason why last night stood out was because first of all, it was on ESPN Sunday night baseball - nationally televised. Second, because its NY/Boston. Eventhough these 2 teams are rivals, they are closely associated with each other.

twins gifted him a chair made of broken bats and the red sox gifting him some stuff and a bronze statue. (could also be that the bronze statue was a gift from another team)
all the other teams made a ceremony as well but i don't know what they gifted him.

All the teams that they played this year did a tribute. I think it was the Rays that did the sand sculpture of him in order of his nick name the sandman I thought that was cool.
I loved how here in Boston last night he chatted it up with fans and signed the bullpen.

The most creative one I heard of was the Twins giving him a "rocking" chair made out of broken bats.
