My birthday is in May, and soon I will have tons of emails flooding my inbox with birthday freebies. I love free birthday stuff, and I’m sure you do too!
Everyone has a birthday, and you may be able to score a lot of free birthday stuff by just flashing your birthdate on your driver’s license or by signing up for a company’s free email club to receive a coupon for your birthday.
Yes, you will need to sign up for a company’s mailing list in order to receive birthday freebies, but if you don’t want your inbox flooded you can sign up with an email address used solely for promotional emails, or you can limit the amount of mailing lists you sign up for.
Another great benefit of signing up for birthday freebies is that you often receive a free item or a discount just for signing up, as well as on the anniversary of when you signed up for their email list.
Below are 31 birthday freebies you should think about signing up for. I am not an affiliate for any of the companies below, these are all just fun, free birthday things I thought you might enjoy. Also, occasionally a company may change their birthday promotion, so if birthday freebie information becomes outdated, please let me know in the comments below.

Questions about free birthday stuff
Below, I wanted to include some common questions that you may have about getting free birthday stuff.
Does Target give you free stuff on your birthday?

Places to get free stuff on your birthday
As you can see, there are many places to get free stuff on your birthday. The list definitely does not end with the above either – there are countless stores that give you birthday freebies as well.
Birthday freebies can be a way to enjoy your birthday for cheap and free. You can receive free birthday stuff, such as food, clothing, desserts (such as a small cake or free scoop or ice cream!), and more. Plus, you may be able to get even more by being a member, other than just birthday rewards, such as being able to earn points for other free items.
Also, many of the free birthday stuff that you can earn above for simply celebrating your birthday can actually be used for a whole month – you don’t have to only go into these stores and restaurants on just your birthday! Instead, you can spread many of these free birthday rewards over your whole birthday month and be able to get free birthday goodies all month long.
