Regalos de navidad paelleros

Who hasn’t struggled to think of the perfect birthday gift for a good friend or family member and ended up completely blank? A Father’s Day gift, maybe even a Christmas gift or something for another special occasion or celebration? Should we go for a video game, that book they were eyeing in the bookstore, the latest console, some much-needed clothes, or… a paella?

It might not seem like it, but a paella-related product can be a great surprise for birthdays, Father’s or Mother’s Day, Epiphany gifts… We can even tell you from personal experience that during the holidays, when family gathers around, there’s an almost irrational craving for paella at the table to warm us up with our loved ones—and if the cook is the one getting the gift, even better.

Let’s not forget other gifts for our foodie friends and family: kitchen accessories, funny aprons, maybe a handy utensil or a cookbook—to subtly suggest it’s time for our star chef to explore new dishes or even sharpen their culinary skills.

In this blog post, we’ll help you browse the shelves for that perfect gift for that special someone on a day worth celebrating in style, sharing tips on the best paella-themed gifts for these holiday seasons and beyond.

Foolproof Paella Gifts

When it comes to giving someone a gift, there’s always that fear they might not like it—unless we’re 100% sure. To help you out, we’ve asked our paella masters what they think are foolproof gifts when it comes to kitchen tools and paella equipment:

Paella Magnet

Small, easy to use, and loved by aspiring paella chefs and seasoned pros alike, the paella magnet is a handy accessory that lets you know exactly when to add the rice to your paella at a glance—no old-school tricks or complicated math needed.

It’s perfect for beginners or those who never feel quite sure when the timing is right. Plus, it lets you relax, enjoy a drink, or snack with your guests while waiting—just keep one eye on it as you socialize.

Universal Windshield

Don’t let wind or bad weather ruin your weekend paella. The universal windshield, made of multiple galvanized steel panels, shields the flame from the elements so it doesn’t go out or lose strength during cooking.

It’s easy to transport, store, and use—just hang the panels around the burner. Its design even creates a stovetop effect, helping you save gas while cooking your paella.

Adjustable Tripod for Paella Burner

Got multiple burners at home? Don’t clutter your storage with dozens of legs—just use the adjustable tripod.

Foldable and modular, it supports burners from 35 cm to 60 cm and lifts them to the ideal height for comfortable cooking. Once you’re done, just fold it and store it easily. And since it’s a single piece, you won’t lose screws or legs while moving it around.

Cookbooks and Rice/Paella Recipe Books

Maybe it’s time to learn some new recipes, broaden our culinary horizons, or just dive into the many tips and tales surrounding rice. This collection of books will help you sharpen your kitchen skills, learn about the rich history of rice, and try countless traditional and creative recipes.

Explore the history of rice, its cultural impact, and evolution over time with Ximo Carrión in his books "Arroces y mucho más: Cultura, historia y recetas" and "Nuestros arroces: Historia, fiestas y recetas".

If history isn’t your thing and you’re more into learning how to cook restaurant-level rice dishes at home like a pro chef, check out "El arte de un buen arroz" by Hector Medina and "Que no se te pase el arroz" by Raúl Tapia and Isa Romero.

Of course, if what you want is recipes and tips, you can't go without "Paella Lovers" by David Montero, "El libro de los arroces" or "Fideuà: 101 recetas" by Pedro Ponce Palomares.

Unusual but Practical Gifts

Sometimes, the best gift is the most unexpected—especially when it surprises not only by being unique, but also by being incredibly practical, making it stand out from all the other options:

Paella Kits and Ingredient Packs

Forget about measuring or choosing the right burner. Just pick the number of people you’re cooking for and get everything you need to make your paella in one easy click. A fantastic gift for cooking paella without any hassle.

Our paella kits include a paella pan (polished or enameled), burner, spatula, and legs. You can also optionally include a gas kit for connection to a butane/propane gas bottle.

Similarly, if you don't want to run up and down the supermarket looking for everything you need to make your paella, you can get one of our ingredient kits.

Each kit contains all the ingredients you need to make your paella, except for the chicken and rabbit, so you can receive everything you need for your paella right at your doorstep.

Wood-fired paella burner + BBQ + Windshield

Don’t let the name mislead or confuse you—this culinary tool allows you to cook paella over wood fire or even with a gas burner, grill a barbecue on top, and as a bonus, its built-in windshield will protect your fire from the wind. It also includes a grill grate for barbecuing.

Used as the official burner of the Sueca Paella Championship, this 3-in-1 tool stands out for its versatility, as it allows you to cook all sorts of meals with just one piece of equipment.

Short legs and adjustable short legs

Cooking paella outdoors is one of the most typical and enjoyable ways to enjoy it—but let’s be honest, not everyone has easy access to a place where they can cook outside without a neighbor complaining, let alone going to the countryside or an open field. That’s where these short legs come in handy.

The short legs and adjustable short legs let you cook with a paella burner indoors, whether it’s on a table or countertop, without worrying about heat damage. They also raise the paella to a comfortable cooking height.

Induction paella pans

Thanks to modern technology, many city apartments no longer use gas cylinders to cook. Induction or ceramic cooktops are far more convenient—but sometimes, they make preparing certain dishes a bit tricky. Luckily, paella isn’t one of them, thanks to induction paella pans.

With a completely flat bottom that allows direct contact with induction cooktops, these paella pans let you cook at home with all the benefits of a burner—including the much-loved socarrat.

You can find them in polished steel, enameled, or stainless steel—which we especially recommend due to its thermo-diffuser bottom that evenly distributes heat and helps prevent warping from excess heat.

Multi-flavor paella pan

I want Valencian paella, you want seafood paella—should we flip a coin? No need, because with the multi-flavor paella pan, we can do both.

Whether you want to try two or even three different types of paella, or each guest wants to enjoy a different rice dish, the multi-flavor paella pan—with its separate compartments—lets you cook multiple paellas in one pan without mixing broths or flavors.

We hope this collection of paella-related products helps you find the perfect gift, paella lovers!
