You could always create your own HTML table if you don't want to use data provider.

Yii CGridView require a data provider, therefore you can't use CGridView if you can't supply the data provider. Use CArrayDataProvider instead:

$sessionData = Yii::app()->user->getState('cart');
// $dataProvider = new CArrayDataProvider($sessionData);   //throws undefined index:id exception
$dataProvider = new CArrayDataProvider($sessionData, array('keyField'=>'id'));

$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
    'id' => 'your-grid',
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'columns' => array(
        'item_name',
        'qty',
        // etc
    )
));
