Who doesn't love free gifts for their birthday? When it's that time of year, stores and restaurants want to help you celebrate your big day(and hopefully spend a little money), that's why they offer special freebies and/or coupons for discounts. The good news is that you don't have to spend a dime to take advantage of these special offers, just find the ones that interest you and sign up. Many of these programs also offer special discounts and coupons throughout the year. Be sure to read the fine print before you sign up for any program. Reminder: if the links or programs don't work, please let me know and leave a comment below. Also, if I'm missing some notable birthday deals or programs, leave a comment.
