These are some of the best birthday freebies you can grab when your birthday rolls around each year! From free Starbucks to free makeup, get ready to treat yourself to free stuff to wish yourself Happy Birthday!

Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?  Okay, so you may have to dole out your email address.  But that’s a small price to pay for a free chocolate cupcake or a Venti Coconutmilk Mocha Macchiato, right?  

If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you know that I’m all about a good freebie! I even wrote another post about 14 Things that You Can Get for Free that You Probably Didn’t Know About!

And I’ve been known to drive all over the city taking advantage of freebies on Veteran’s Day, Tax Day, and of course, my BIRTHDAY! If you want to treat yourself on your birthday too, without whipping out your credit card, then I’ve got a HUGE list of birthday freebies for you…

Here’s the ultimate list of the BEST birthday freebies for when your special day rolls around!

There is SO much free stuff that you can get on your birthday… so I’ve organized the freebies by category AND by alphabetical order!
