Birthday Freebies That Are Free (Updated for 2012)

I know what you are thinking...
"There are tons of Birthday Freebie lists out there, so why are you creating your own and reinventing the wheel?" 
Well this is the real Birthday Freebie list - the list that only contains full-fledged FREE birthday gifts.  Who wants a birthday gift that has strings attached, anyway?

Top Awards:

  • Gigi's Cupcakes - did not receive 2012
    • A coupon for a free cupcake of your choice ($3.00 value) is emailed to you if you have signed up for Gigi's email newsletter and provide a birthdate.  You will receive this coupon on the first day of your birthday month.
  • City Barbeque - verified 2012
    • Email VIP Club members can bring in a printout of the Happy Birthday email to receive a complimentary dessert any time of the month. You can choose between banana pudding, triple chocolate cake, or peach cobbler with homemade whipped cream.  You will receive this coupon on the first day of your birthday month.
  • DSW - verified 2012
    • If you are a DSW Rewards member, a $5 birthday certificate is emailed to you that can be used any time during your birthday month.  If you don't need shoes, get yourself some free socks!
  • Steak 'n Shake - verified 2012
    • Sign up for the eClub and you will have a coupon emailed to you of the first day of your birthday month 12 days before your birthday for a free Double Steakburger with Cheese 'n Fries to enjoy any time during your birthday month.  Go through the drive-thru or use the TakHomaSak counter if you are alone!  Note that the coupon has your first name and full date of birth on it and they ask you to bring an ID for verification.
  • The Container Store - verified 2012
    • A coupon  is emailed to you for a free gift that you can redeem any time during your birthday month.  Internet rumblings seem to indicate that it is a free The Container Store reusable bag.  How I signed up for this is a mystery to me.
  • Yogurt Mountain - verified 2012
    • Sign up for Yogurt Mountain's Birthday Club and receive a certificate in your inbox on the first day of your birthday month for a free 6oz. yogurt ($3.50 value) to enjoy anytime during your birthday month.  Be sure not to overfill your cup if you aren't willing to pay for extra ounces
  • Graeter's - verified 2012
    • A free birthday sundae is loaded onto your Sweet Rewards card to be used on your birthday or the week following.  If you need to join Sweet Rewards, you must pick up the card in-store and register it online.  Make sure to include your birthday on the registration form.  Start deciding...will you go for the Banana Split, Turtle Sundae, or 1870 Tower?? Yum!
  • Sephora - verified 2012
    • Sign up for Sephora's Beauty Insider program and receive a free gift in-store or online.  You will receive an email 13-14 days before your birthday with directions on how to get your free gift.  The deals is valid from then until 14 days after your actual birthday.  The fun part about this one is that the gift they give away changes from year to year, so it is always a surprise.  The gift for 2012 is a Fresh Shugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo.  Note that if you redeem online, you must purchase something and pay for shipping, so I recommend heading to the brick-and-mortar store if there's one in your area.
  • Noodles & Co - verified 2012
    • Receive a free bowl of noodles via an email sent to your inbox 5 days before your birthday.  You have until 9 days after your birthday to use it.  Sign up for Noodlegrams to get this tasty treat.  Make sure to order the large bowl with a protein to get the most out of your free birthday meal!
