It’s your birthday, and you deserve to be spoiled – and thankfully, a lot of businesses agree.
Giving birthday freebies is a great way for businesses to reward loyalty, bring in new customers and maybe convince you to add a little extra to your shopping cart – along with that little birthday bonus, of course.
From discounts and vouchers to free goods, there is a surprisingly large number of birthday treats available to you, and in most cases, all it requires is a simple registration.
