I love birthdays – for me they are much more exciting than Christmas, and I LOVE to celebrate them! But did you know you can get loads of Birthday freebies?

You will probably see there is a theme going here and it involves a lot of food!

Here are some of the ones I have come across but feel free to drop me a message with any others I can add on

Updated February 2025

Beefeater

Beefeater offer Reward Club members and who are on their mailing list a free main meal. The email came out 2 weeks before my birthday and you have a month to use it.

Find your nearest Beefeater and make sure you’ve joined the mailing list

TGI Fridays

TGI Fridays offer you and up to 5 friends a free cocktail when you purchase a main meal – Gaz doesn’t drink cocktails so 2 for me! I had a Pina Colada and a Rose Blush Slush. It used to only be valid 7 days before and 7 days after your birthday so it’s nice to see they’ve extended it to be valid in your whole birthday month.

I hope you have discovered some new birthday freebies here. If you come across anymore feel free to contact me and I can add them in

If like me you get a lot of emails its probably best to either move all these emails into a folder or if you use Gmail like I do then I just star them all so I can find them when I need too.

Have a great Birthday!
