Plan to Get Perks on Your Bday: Tip-of-the-Day #339

My bday just passed in early March and I was sent gifts that ranged from a free food/beverage item at Starbucks to a free necklace at Stella and Dot. Offers rolled in from Anthropologie (15% off during your bday month), Gap (extra savings), even my gym offered me a free Pilates session. Had I taken up all these free offers I would have been a very busy woman. That said, I went for the necklace at Stella and Dot and signed up for a Pilates session that I will likely never use.

However, I just opened an email from Thrillist (great resource for local happenings if you aren't already subscribed) and I saw a round up of all the restaurants that will hook you up with freebies on your big day. The list is fairly exhaustive and mostly features chain restaurants (no judgement) but if you're looking for some great deals, you may want to check it out!

Some of my favs from the list include:

• Free burrito at Baja Fresh
• Free ice cream at Ben & Jerry's
• $30 gift card to Benihana
• Free stack of pancakes at IHOP (my fav will always be the rooty tooty fresh and fruity)
• Free smoothie at Jamba Juice
• Free entree at P.F. Chang's

Just one more way to make your day!
