It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t love their birthday, even if they don’t admit it. It’s a day to celebrate you and your life, and have a little bit of fun.
Getting gifts is great but if you or your partner are tight on money, or if you want a bit of a thrill, there are ways around it!
Did you know you can get freebies from your favourite restaurants, cafes and businesses?
For those not listed, you still might be able to get birthday freebies when you sign up for loyalty programs. A lot of retailers base their rewards about birthdays so it’s better to be on the list than not!
