Did someone say freebies on your birthday?
Nope, you heard us correctly. Birthday freebies, it’s a real thing.
Birthdays are a time for celebration, and you’re not the only one celebrating. There are plenty of brands, stores and restaurants that will celebrate your special day by offering freebies on your birthday or exclusive discounts. Slice of free cake just for being born? Don’t mind if we do…
Luckily, for most of the freebies on your birthday, all you have to do is sign up to the brand’s newsletters or mailing lists, sometimes download their app, and you can expect birthday freebies to land in your inbox.
We’ve got the best birthday freebies the UK has to offer, with the likes of Starbucks, ASOS and Nike joining in on giving free birthday stuff away. You can thank us later but for now, go get your birthday freebies! And don’t forget to download the Student Beans app to stay up to date with all the latest student discounts.
Oh, and happy birthday!
