One of the best parts of turning a year older has to be all the free birthday stuff you can claim. So we put together a list of birthday freebies in Canada, to help you know exactly what's out there.
From free desserts to birthday promo codes, you really can have it all on your big day – but it helps to be prepared. Plenty of different restaurants, stores and sites offer birthday deals, discounts and freebies, but many require newsletter signups or loyalty memberships – so it's always wise to register before your actual birthday.
Some of these are outright freebies and others are discounts you can redeem either on your birthday itself or at any point during your birthday month. So check them out, sign up and let us know which goodies you claim – and have a happy birthday!
