Where to Get Your Birthday “Freebies” This Year

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at St. John's chapter.

A birthday is a day to celebrate, treat, and tend to yourself. In other words, doing and receiving whatever makes you feel the best. If you ever find yourself bored on your birthday, are out running errands on your birthday, or simply want to gift yourself on your birthday, below are numerous stores that offer some “freebies” on your birthday:

  1. Starbucks 

Mine and many others’ favorite place… on your next birthday, get any size free drink that you want from Starbucks.

  1. Krispy Kreme 

I may be a little biased as glazed donuts are my favorite pastry, but Krispy Kreme offers 12 free glazed donuts to customers on their birthday.  

  1. Sephora

Sephora offers a free birthday gift to members. It takes no time to sign up, and you may receive free products from your favorite brands. Take advantage of this one! 

  1. Ulta 

Ulta offers customers a birthday gift. In addition, the points customers get for purchases are doubled, offering a chance at more rewards in the long run. This is one of my favorites, I can try things I probably wouldn’t have if not for it being my birthday.

  1. Crumbl Cookies 

If you haven’t tried Crumbl, you’ve likely heard of it. This bakery offers birthday customers any free cookie they choose. 

  1. Nothing Bundt Cakes

This is another bakery worth visiting on your birthday. Birthday customers are offered one mini bundt cake of your choice. These cakes are delicious. 

  1. Edible Arrangements 

Chocolate strawberries are great for any occasion. On your next birthday, be sure to stop at Edible Arrangements. It will be so worth it.

  1. Baskin Robbins

At Baskin Robbins, you can get a free scoop of any flavor of ice cream. 

Be sure to stop at at least one of these places on your birthday. It can be a really fun part of your day. You may get to try something new, or pick up some of your favorites. If you didn’t see your favorites on the list above, check out some other stores. Most importantly, make yourself feel celebrated!
