100 Places to Get Free Stuff on Your Birthday

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

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

I’m all about getting things for free, and I’ve been known to drive all over the city to take advantage of freebies on Veteran’s Day, Tax Day, and of course, my birthday! And so that I don’t miss a single free sweet treat or discount, I’ve compiled a huge list of the best stores and restaurants that will give you free stuff on your special day!

Here’s the ultimate list of the BEST birthday freebies to treat yourself for cheap!

*Note – The majority of these freebies will require you to join an email club or rewards program, so be prepared to give out your name and email address for the free stuff.  Also, some of the birthday offers may vary.
