Is your birthday coming up? You deserve a day overflowing with joy, abundance, peace and love! And to make your day even sweeter, how about some free treats, gifts and entertainment?

Yes, you read that right — free! To help you celebrate your big day, we've gathered some of the best birthday deals from restaurants, clothing stores and other retailers. These companies are ready to spoil you with gifts on your special day and throughout your birthday month.

You’ll need to join a loyalty program or sign up for emails to get these offers. (To avoid cluttering your inbox, consider using a separate email address for these promos.) Also, you might need to register before your birthday to qualify, so be sure to check the details carefully.
