One shopper has shared a list of all the birthday freebies you can claim from major retailers, including everything from beauty products to cakes, chocolates and doughnuts
Who doesn’t love receiving a thoughtful present from loved ones on their special day? But here’s something you might not know – plenty of high street names are happy to shower you with birthday freebies too. One social media influencer has compiled an extensive list of complimentary goodies available on your birthday, and his post has taken the internet by storm, amassing over 41,000 likes.
Angelo Coassin, who typically shares culinary content with his 1.5 million followers, switched things up in one of his recent reels by spotlighting these birthday perks. The content creator kicked off the video clutching a Rituals shopping bag, with on-screen text declaring: ‘Everything you can get for free on your birthday’.
Bags from various high street favourites – including Lindt, Krispy Kreme, Space NK and Lidl – then made appearances throughout the clip.
The first specific freebie Angelo highlighted came from Lidl. He revealed: “You can get a sweet treat from the bakery on the week of your birthday.”
Bear in mind though, you’ll need to be signed up to the Lidl Plus loyalty scheme to claim this one.
Rituals came second on the list. He noted: “With a small purchase, you can get a hand wash or cream completely for free.”
In third place was Krispy Kreme, where Angelo explained you can snag a doughnut of your choosing at no cost. “Since it was my first time, I tried their classic one and it was Mamma Mia,” he remarked.
Fourth on the freebies rundown was premium chocolate retailer Lindt, offering a complimentary item on your birthday. He mentioned picking up some Dubai chocolate, as he’d not sampled it previously.
Space NK, the beauty product retailer, was the final stop on Angelo’s list. He revealed: “With my NDULGE card I got the Byoma SPF and my favourite, the Erborian CC cream.”
In his follow-up caption, Angelo announced: “This is everything you can get FOR FREE on your birthday!
“There are so many things you can do for free on your birthday and here is a list!
“I personally live in London but most of these shops are all over the world so make sure to plan a visit during your birthday.”
He further advised: “Also, remember that most of these places allow you to visit the whole week after your birthday (for my actual birthday I was in Italy this year).
“Do you know any more places?”
One follower gushed: “Love this, Happy Birthday!”
Another chimed in: “I only knew that Costa gives you a free slice of cake I’ll be visiting quite of few of these hopefully.”
A third expressed surprise: “What? Didn’t know at all!”
