Freebies & Fun: Your Ultimate Birthday Free Stuff Guide

#1: Starbucks

One of the most popular freebies around is Starbucks's 1 free drink. If you are signed up on the Starbucks app and have your birthday entered, you are eligible for a free drink. This can be any drink you want, any size you want, with any add-ins you want, and there are no restrictions. The reason this is so popular is 1 that it's Starbucks, and it is probably the most popular place to get an after-school drink or snack. And 2, because Starbucks is usually so expensive; therefore, most people aren't going to pass up the chance for a free $7 drink!

#2: Sephora

Another very popular birthday freebie that is not food is the makeup store Sephora. At Sephora, you can pick 1 free gift in the 2-week span before or after your birthday. This is as long as you are signed up through the app. Every year, they have different birthday freebies that come out on the 1st of January and go untilDecember 31st. Different brands have different birthday freebies, which usually include a few small samples of each of their products, some being very nice. One of the most popular birthday freebies from Sephora in 2025 is the Summer Friday's one, which includes a mini of their very popular lip butter balm and a full-size of their jet lag eye mask.

#3: Crumbl Cookie

Crumbl Cookie also has a very popular birthday freebie. On your birthday, Crumbl allows you to redeem a $5 voucher, allowing you to get one free cookie or have $5 off your order of any other sweet treat. In order to get this reward, you must be signed up for their rewards program and make sure to include your birthday on your account. This freebie is so popular because Crumbl cookies are pretty large and can be pretty expensive for a cookie, so people are eager to go and redeem their free dessert. Additionally, Crumbl changes its flavors often, so it's nice to get some money off of your order because their cookies can be hit or miss.

#4: Nothing Bundt Cakes

Another free dessert you can get on your birthday is a mini bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes.
