Last year, I saw a TikTok video listing stores that give out free items on your birthday.
This year, I got items including free cookies, free skincare, and free frozen yogurt.
Celebrating your birthday can get expensive, but if you set up free accounts at some of your favorite stores and restaurants, you can get plenty of things for free, too.
Last year, for my 23rd birthday, I decided to drive all over my local city picking up birthday freebies after a TikTok video told me it was possible. It was so much fun that I kept the tradition up again this year, even adding a couple of new places.
Here's how to enjoy a smorgasbord of Starbucks, Sephora, Nothing Bundt Cakes, and more on your special day.
