On your birthday, you are probably accustomed to getting messages and gifts from your loved ones. But did you know that many retailers give out free items? Many companies have rewards programs, and by simply providing an email address, you will be able to enjoy different benefits. Ranging from food to beauty products, you can get gifts from some of your favorite companies. These are five places where you can get free gifts on your birthday.Â

Starbucks
If you register for the Starbucks Rewards Program, you are able to get almost any drink or food item for free. The item can only be claimed on your birthday. And in order to be eligible, you must have made a prior purchase in the last year. You will also need to sign up for the rewards program at least a week in advance.Â

Sephora
By becoming a Beauty Insider, you are eligible to receive a free gift any time during your birthday month. Typically, you will get a choice between three gift sets. The 2021 gifts are NARS Bronzer and Lip Balm, Laneige Sleeping Masks and Moisture Cream, and Moroccanoil Styling Cream, Body Serum, plus a Hair Treatment. A fourth gift set is available exclusively online: KĂ©rastase Shampoo and Conditioner.Â
