You know how when someone tells the waiter it’s your birthday and you’re all embarrassed when everyone stares at you as they bring out your free dessert while singing “Happy Birthday” ? Yeah, no not me. I flippin’ love that.
As you probably know by now, I love free stuff. And also? I love my birthday. Which, incidentally, is today. So free stuff + my birthday = ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I’ve signed up for pretty much every birthday freebie out there and then I spend my birthday out and about enjoying all my free stuff. Like, my plan today is to go to the mall and get a free slice of cookie cake, my free gifts from Sephora and Aveda, a free drink from Starbucks and shop with my birthday coupons. And that’s all before lunch.
I’ve been meaning to compile this list for y’all for awhile so consider it my birthday present to you. I put my favorites first and then all of the free food/drink items are in alphabetical items. Now go sign yourself up for all of these birthday freebies while I treat myself and Scarlette to some free fro-yo! Happy 29 years to me! (Seriously, spending my birthday with Scarlette is pretty much the best)

SEPHORA: A free gift (the 2012 gift is the Fresh Sugar Kisses Lip Duo)
SWAGBUCKS: You get 50 free swagbucks on your birthday! So be sure to enter your birthday when you sign up because there isn’t a place to input it later (probably to discourage people from changing their birthday all of the time to get more swagbucks) Also, that’s my swagbucks referral link and I’m using it because hello! It’s my birthday!
ANTHROPOLOGIE: 15% off coupon
AVEDA: A free gift (You have to pick it up in store but it’s typically a full size product! Also, that is my Aveda referral link because, again, I’m partying like it’s my birthday!)

* You can probably find lots more by googling “free birthday entree” “free birthday meal” or “free birthday gift” – I just listed things that I subscribe to because they are local to me. I was not kidding when I said I go out to eat several times for freezies during the week of my birthday, lol.)
** Note: you typically have to sign up about 10 days in advance of your birthday so don’t try this like, the night before. Also, most of these are good for a few days before and after your birthday. Andplusalso, I have a separate email address to sign up for all of my freebies so that my regular one isn’t overrun. Although that doesn’t really make me any better at staying on top of my inbox…

Seriously, you are an amazing doll for putting this together, and since you put the time into it, I am totally going to sit at my computer tonight and sign up for 80% of these. I had no idea that Aveda gives something for birthday girls! It’s my favorite! And I actually just signed up for Sephora’s thing yesterday.
Happy birthday my sweet friend. I hope this year is magical.
Happy Birthday KA! My birthday is on Saturday, so thanks for all of the Birthday Freebie ideas! Have a great day! ~Sally
Happy Birthday KA! I hope your day makes you feel celebrated for the amazing person that you are!
Also, this post could not be more perfect in timing. My birthday is the 18th. Fab birthday freebies… here we go!
Happy Birthday! Sounds like you’re going to have an awesome day!
Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you enjoy all your delish birthday treats because the calories don’t count on your birthday week! Yaaay!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear KA, Happy Birthday to you!
you are a mess!! i just love you and I hope you have a wonderful day today!! Happy Happy Birthday to you!!
Happy Birthday from one “June 6′er ” to another
Happy Birthday Linda! I hope it is fantastic!
Happy Birthday! Age doesn’t really matter to me, but here’s to your first “29th birthday”…seeing how a lot of people celebrate their 29th birthday every year for the rest of their lives! =) And I think you’ve hit the jackpot with free stuff for your birthday. I have a lot to learn!
lol, I just wrote a piece for a company about NOT celebrating my 29th every year! Great minds…
Thanks for the wishes!
Thanks KA!!! Happy Birthday!!! My birthday is today too!!! Love having a June 6th bday. I appreciate all the freebies!
Happy Birthday Michelle! It’s the best day for a birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIRL!!!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for posting these fun freebies, my birthday is soon
Happy Birthday! This is going to be a great year!
Happy Birthday! I had no idea you could get most of those things!
Great ideas!
Happy Belated! My sister in law and I both have June birthdays. We arranged to have a birthday shopping day with our Anthro discounts this weekend (while the men watch the kids!). Hope you had a good day!!
Happy Belated Birthday! I linked to your list on my site, hope that’s ok.
I’ve been reading forever but don’t know that I’ve ever commented before. Your daughter is the most adorable little thing ever. The picture of her from the last post with one shoe kills me.
I love the birthday attention in restaurants, as well. Not that I have to tell you that… anyone could guess it from knowing me for 5 seconds or longer.
Ulta sent me a coupon for a free brow wax for my birthday. Too bad I’m unwilling to walk around with grown out brows in order to take advantage. Seriously, do women just stay in their house for two weeks before waxing day, or what?
Also, it’s like “Hi, happy birthday HERE’S SOME FREE PAIN FOR YOU”
Also, I just got the mail and got your present! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! What is a good time for me to call you tomorrow? Jeff just got home and I have to feed S and get her down, which considering how our day has gone probably won’t be easy :/
Yay, I knew you would love it! Anytime before 2:30 or after 4:30 (your time) works for tomorrow. If you end up with time tonight, I’m free.
Hope you had a really Happy Birthday ! Love that you get so much free stuff …wish Australia had such a fun bunch of birthday freebies
might have to do some google searches to see if I can find some.
Happy Belated Birthday!! I’m sorry I wasn’t on time, recovering from a dog bite!
You know, I signed up for a TON of freebies for Nate’s big day, and not a single company came through. I was not pleased. But anyway I hope you had an amazing day! <3
I’m chiming in (really late) to say Happy Birthday!!!!! Also, thank you for the gargantuan freebie list. Also, also, that lil’ peanut of yours is too flippin’ adorable in that photo. And YOU look beautiful! Enjoy your week of free food (ice cream).
Hey, I’m Comment #29! So Happy 29th Birthday!!! Thanks for sharing your blessed life and taking the trials you have been through and using them to help others and glorify God. Scarlette is adorable!!
I love this! Super extensive, which is awesome!
How do you get the Old Navy gift? Do you have to be a card holder?
Thanks for this list! I’m a member of freeflys.com, which sends you emails for all sorts of free samples and other free offers, and it’s not spammy at all. I love free stuff too
