Where to Get Birthday Freebies

Free birthday stuff is probably at the top of my list when it comes to things I am excited about for my birthday. Who doesn’t love birthday freebies?

No, I’m not just talking about birthday presents! A LOT of places will give you free stuff on your birthday just for signing up.

Chances are your favorite restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings, Olive Garden and Panda Express will treat you to some sweet birthday freebies!

Psst: also, if it’s your spouse’s birthday, be sure to check out my list of acts of service ideas to really make their birthday special!

In honor of my half birthday, I thought it would be fun to put together a list of birthday freebies!

Sadly, none of these places will let you eat free for your half birthday, so I have some waiting to do (hahaha). But if you have a birthday coming up, you’re going to want to check out this massive list of birthday freebies!

If yours has already come and gone this year, be sure to save this post in your bookmarks or pin this post on Pinterest to reference for your birthday, and all your family members’ all year long!

What places will give you free birthday stuff?

Some of these places offer free meals, others it’s a free treat, appetizer or drink. Be sure to check with your server before ordering as sometimes policies change. I will do my best to keep this list up to date but I strongly suggest you verify the information before going or before ordering.

Be prepared to show ID to prove that it’s really your birthday.

Also if you look closely, some of these birthday freebies have additional offers that are good right when you sign up, so you don’t even have to wait till your birthday to eat free!

PRO TIP: If you don’t want to give out your email to all these places, try setting up an email account dedicated just for this purpose.

Without further ado, here’s 101 birthday freebies!
