The Recessionista’s Favorite Birthday Deals & Freebies

My e-birthday card from L’Occitane Provence

Today is my birthday.  I’ve gotten a number of cards from different brands and retailers to remind me that they are remembering my special day by offering me a deal or a freebie.  It’s always nice to get a deal, especially on your birthday when you might want to treat yourself.  So I thought I would compile a list of some of the goodies I have received so my readers could sign-up too and get the deals. 

Starbucks offers their customers birthday rewards

Starbucks: Starbucks gave me some great freebies to start the day off right. I received  two birthday treats, one in-store and one online.  If you sign-up at Starbucks online, they you can bring your registered Starbucks Card or Starbucks mobile app to Starbucks stores to redeem your birthday reward for a handcrafted beverage, Starbucks bottled beverage or the food item of your choice.

Anthroplogie:   As a member of their website, Anthro gifted me with an emailer with a  15% off coupon good any day during my birthday month. Anthro also sent me an invite to come into the store on a calendar day to enjoy a celebration with other Anthro members with June birthdays at an in-store event.

ASOS:  As a member of the ASOS site I received an email card with a code to save 10% off to shop during my B-day month.  ASOS is one of my favorite fast fashion brands, so this makes their good deals even better.

Henri Bendel:   Bendel’s sent me sent me an invite to come into the store on a calendar day to enjoy a celebration with other  Benel shoppers with June birthdays at an in-store event.  I also received a VIP code to go shopping.

L’Occitane: Offer of a free Almond Travel Treat Collection with a $20.00 purchase.

Rent the Runway: I got a $25.00 gift card/coupon code towards renting a dress or accessory for a special evening out. To get the deal, join the Rent the Runway site, then on your birthday you get the coupon can code.  You have to use the coupon within 30 days of your birth date.  This is a very nice perk from Rent the Runway for fashion lovers on a budget.  Rent the Runway recently announced a capsule collection of cocktail dresses from Monique Lhullier,  so I may rent one of those this month,

Sephora:  When I joined the Sephora online site, I signed up for Beauty Insiders. With that sign-up I  received a complimentary gift during your birthday month.   My gift is some free Make-up Forever  Rouge Artist  Natural Lipstick and Smoky Extravagant Mascara.  Can’t wait to check those out.

South Bay Galleria , my local mall, gifted me with a $10.00 coupon to come into the mall and use at any of the mall stores.

Wine.com sent me a 10% off coupon code to feed my wine habit.

Veggie Grill: I signed up for their email list, so I get a free meal during my birthday month.  This is a great deal on some delicious and nutritious food.  Their “Hail Kale” kale salad is a favorite of mine.
