If your friends don’t shower you with gifts, don’t worry, because the offers below will still pamper you with free birthday treats when the big day arrives.
All you need to do is sign up for a few newsletters or loyalty programs here and there (or sometimes just show your ID to prove it’s your birthday). This will allow you to enjoy a fantastic shopping spree on your birthday, while being well-fed and slightly tipsy from all the complimentary birthday prosecco!
To avoid getting overwhelmed with spam, make sure to create a separate email account for signing up for all these birthday freebie deals. It’s a small price to pay for all the incredible birthday freebies!
TRIVIA: Discover the answer to the question of how many people need to be in one room before it’s likely that at least two people share the same birthday. You can find the answer at the end of the guide, once you’ve taken advantage of your freebies.
