11 Free Things To Do Or Receive On Your Birthday
Sergei Solovev

So your birthday rolls around, and what do you want to do? Uh, get free stuff, of course! Here are a few things you can do (in advance) that will land you some pretty sweet freebies on your special day.

1. Menchies.

Now this one doesn’t actually work on your birthday, but instead it’s good for a $5 voucher 15 days before and 15 days after your date of birth.

2. Ulta.

You’ll have to pry yourself out of your loved one’s arms for long enough to run to your nearest Ulta to snag a sweet eyeshadow pallet worth around $18, but only on the day of your birthday and with the Ulta rewards member email coupon.

3. Starbucks.

A classic but a great way to stay awake on your big day. One free food or beverage of any price! If you have the Starbucks app, then it automatically loads onto your phone a few days before your birthday.

4. Auntie Anne’s.

I found out the hard way you have to download their app and become a member before your birthday for this freebie to work. Similar to the Starbucks app, the coupon loads on the app for a free pretzel of your choosing!

5. Aveda.

Aveda has a membership fee, but if you are a die-hard hair and skin care enthusiast, the free birthday gift is definitely worth it! This is another deal that you will have to sign up in advance for.

6. Cinnabon.

If you join Club Cinnabon, they send you an email for a free minibon upon signing up and then another one on your birthday. It’s your day, indulge!

7. IHOP.

I love going to IHOP, and their Pancake Revolution membership is a great perk! When you sign up, you get a free stack of rooty tooty fresh and fruity pancakes and another free stack every year on the anniversary of your sign up AND a free stack every year on your birthday. Sign up around your preferred IHOP partner's birthday and celebrate together with free pancakes!

8. Orange Julius.

Another great deal on your birthday if you are traveling in a pair is stopping by Orange Julius with your Julius League email and getting a BOGO drink coupon on your birthday and when you sign up.

9. Red Robin.

As a Red Robin Rewards member, you receive quite a few glorious food perks, but the best one has to be an entire free burger on your birthday, just for you.

10. Redbox.

Feeling like staying in on your special day? Well, Redbox will give you one free night movie rental to all their Play Pass members!

11. Sephora.

As a beauty insider, Sephora lets you choose from three different free birthday gifts on your birthday month, in store or online! The best part, it changes every year!

12. Bars, Pubs and Clubs.

This one is only to those 21 and up and for those of you willing to endure the humiliation of a blowjob or muff-diver shot: They are free at a good majority of bars around the country. However, if you have particularly nice friends/family, you can usually get a free drink from them on your birthday, too.

Go out and spread this wisdom across the land. You are one year older! You deserve it!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
