Not only has Cornhole grown to become one of the most popular activities in the country, but it has also turned into one of the greatest gifts on the market. This is a game that almost anyone can get into and enjoy – it’s perfect for families, event planners, party businesses, kids, weddings, tailgate parties, and just about any other recipient or venue you can imagine. If you have a cornhole fan in your life (or someone you think could easily fall in love with the game), consider buying them a customized cornhole board!

There are a number of reasons why Cornhole Boards are a great gift for anyone on your shopping list. Before we get into the top cornhole boards to give as gifts, let’s take a moment to explore why you should seriously consider a cornhole board when buying your next present.

High Quality

There’s a time and a place for cheap stocking stuffers, and it’s when you’re buying presents for little kids who are likely to break (or forget) about these toys in approximately two weeks. When you’re buying for someone who will treasure and care for their possessions, it pays to err on the side of quality. We bring this up because the craftmanship and building quality of cornhole boards has gone through the roof in recent years. These are no longer just “playthings” to be left out in the sun; these are durable pieces with weight and amazing artwork. Even if you get a set of these boards for someone who has never heard of cornhole before, they will immediately recognize and appreciate the quality of the gift.

Extraordinary Customization

Surveys consistently show that people appreciate gifts that have been customized specifically for them more than those that come stock off the shelf. Fortunately, customization and cornhole boards go hand in hand. Indeed, many Americans are bigger fans of board customization than they are of the game itself! This is a hobby that lends itself to collecting, so if you have a hobbyist or a completionist in your friend circle, you’ll definitely want to consider getting them a custom cornhole board. Whether they like a particular sports team, want to show their patriotism, or would like something that promotes their business, you’ll be able to find a design that fits.

Great for Any Occasion

Cornhole has already been established as a game that you can play at almost any event: A backyard BBW, outside a football game in the parking lot, or even at a special wedding reception. But custom cornhole boards are also amazingly versatile when you give them as gifts. Need something unique to give to your favorite couple as a housewarming gift? Want to WOW someone at Christmas? Cornhole boards even make terrific retirement party gifts! If you’re the kind of person who often struggles to find the right gifts for the right occasion, cornhole boards can easily become your go-to present.

Fun, Fun, and More Fun

What’s the big problem with most gifts? They are appreciated in the moment…and then largely forgotten. Can you even remember what you received last Christmas? Would it surprise you in the least if you came across some trinket you got for your last birthday in the bottom of a musty drawer somewhere? Too many gifts are fleeting, boring, and utterly unremarkable. We can guarantee you this much: If you get a friend or loved one a set of cornhole boards as a gift, they will not soon forget about them. This game is just too much fun to be tossed aside like last year’s cufflinks!

Appropriate For Almost Everyone

Here’s one final advantage to buying cornhole boards as gifts: They are appropriate for almost everyone. Kids, working moms, senior citizens – cornhole is one of those games that brings everybody in on the fun. This is a game that is as popular in retirement communities as it is outside Raymond James Stadium. A game that sees as much play in the local pub as it does in the neighbor’s backyard. We’re not going to pretend that everyone in America loves tossing the ol’ corn bag, but we’d be hard-pressed to come up with another activity that is this spread-out, demographically. If you’re looking for a good, safe gift, you may have just come up with a winner.

As long as you take individual preferences into account and buy with your heart, we’re confident that you’ll find something in this list that would be perfect for someone you love and care about.

14 – Palm Trees and Beach Cornhole Boards

With its gorgeous depiction of a sunny, tropical paradise, these Palm Trees and Beach Cornhole Boards will fit in just as well in an Idaho backyard as they do on the coast. Everyone has a little bit of beach envy in them, after all.

These boards make for excellent gifts to anyone who works in the firefighting profession, or you can gift them to a fire department as a whole. Firefighters have some of the most heroic jobs in the nation, but they also have a lot of downtime. A game like cornhole keeps them fresh and ready to provide their invaluable service.

12 – Bass Fishing Cornhole Boards

Do you know an amateur angler who would rather be out in his boat than doing just about anything else?

10 – Deer Hunting Target Cornhole Boards

Our favorite cornhole boards are the ones that pay tribute to popular and specific hobbies and interests. We think cornhole designs work best when they act as extensions of the owner’s personality. No board is a better representation of this concept than this one. Decorated with a majestic deer head and overlaid by a classic “gun scope” target symbol, this attractive design will invoke the feel, smell, and anticipation associated with marching through the woods on the hunt. There’s no substitute for the primal, beautiful camaraderie of deer hunting, but with these cornhole boards, you can get pretty damn close!

9 – Funny Cornhole Boards

Cornhole is a lot of things: Fun, competitive, unusual, portable, etc. One thing it should never be is serious. Oh sure, there are plenty of people who take the game seriously, but that’s not exactly what we mean. We suppose a better way to put it would be “grim.” At its core, this is a game designed around tossing a corn-filled bag into a hole! So why not add a little bit of levity to the situation? With these funny cornhole boards, you can brighten up any backyard BBQ, and you can give the gift of laughter to anyone on your shopping list with a sense of humor. What better gift could anyone ask for?

8 – Golf Cornhole Boards

This is one of the most interesting entries on our collection of the top cornhole boards to give as gifts. Why? Because we’re actually talking about two different categories. In one, we’re talking about ordinary cornhole boards that are fitted with a golf-themed design. These are phenomenal gifts for anyone who likes to hit the links on a sunny summer afternoon, and they bring all of the sights and smells of golf right into your cornhole game. In the other, we’re talking about specialized cornhole boards that incorporate a putter, actually mixing the game of golf with the game of cornhole. Either kind would be a terrific gift for anyone who loves golf and cornhole.

7 – Scrub Life Cornhole Boards

Man, if we didn’t appreciate the role healthcare workers play in our society before 2020, that tough year certainly woke us up to the truth.

5 – Personalized Name Cornhole Boards

We would be reluctant to name a “favorite” out of all the top cornhole boards we’re highlighting here today, but we must admit there’s something special about this entry. First of all, we’re of the mindset that anything that is expressly customized is automatically a cut above a product that has been mass-manufactured for any and all customers. Secondly, just look at this design, with the customized name floating above a mysterious forest tableau! Words cannot come close to capturing the ethereal beauty of the design, but that’s okay: Once you give this treasure to a cornhole fanatic in your life, the sets will do the talking for you.

4 – Monogram Wreath Cornhole Boards

As we mentioned in our entry on Personalized Name cornhole boards, nothing brings the excitement of cornhole to a crescendo faster than customization. In this category, the boards on offer take that customization in a slightly different direction, displaying the recipient’s monogram encircled by a wreath and overlaid with their full last name. Once again, this makes for a great gift because it takes what could easily be an impersonal present and turns it into a keepsake that can be kept as a family treasure for years to come.

3 – Police Blue Line Custom Text Cornhole Boards

Police, as a whole, have been through the wringer over the last few years, and many law enforcement agencies say that morale is at an all-time low. If you have someone in your family or circle of friends who remains proud to serve and protect, these cornhole boards could be just the gift to raise their spirits and let them know that you understand the trials they’ve been through. With a “blue line” design that highlights the role police play in keeping society orderly and safe, these boards are majestically painted to honor those who wear the badge.

2 – Unfinished Cornhole Boards

Have you decided that a fully designed set of cornhole boards is just a little too expensive to swing right now? Do you still like the idea of giving someone the gift of this wonderful game? Well, we have another option for you to consider: Unfinished Cornhole Boards. Don’t get confused by the name; these boards are fully built, regulation-sized, and ready to be played on immediately. They are simply “unfinished” in terms of painting and design. They cost less than fully designed boards, and they allow you (or the gift recipient) to exercise creativity in turning the blank slate into a beautiful work of art.

1 – Wedding Cornhole Boards

A recent survey showed that while cornhole remains popular at the beach, in the stadium parking lot, and in the backyard, it is actually becoming a beloved wedding activity as well. No, you probably won’t find many cornhole boards inside the church, but for outdoor weddings and informal receptions, you’ve got a game that can engage the whole family in hours of fun. Not only that, but cornhole boards also make for wonderful wedding gifts to the bride and groom!
