Every good birthday usually consists of presents, birthday cake and all-day celebrations. Did you know many retailers offer free items on your special day? It's true! You can score some pretty great stuff just for getting older - imagine that.
Below I've compiled a list of some of my personal favorites. Remember, there may be special requirements to receive your freebie. In order to ensure there's no crying on your birthday, check the retailer's website beforehand to see if you need to make a purchase or sign up for their email program!
