As students, we are frantically budgeting to meet our needs. Sometimes, even the simplest of gifts can seem like a treat. That’s why you will soon find out about the great birthday freebies that many stores provide. Hopefully some of these are new to you and they become a great help to you in the future. Make sure to snag them when your birthday approaches!

Cafe Rio
This is one of my favorite go-to restaurants. After signing up on their app and putting in your information, wait for your birthday to get $5 off on your next meal! I usually get the salad entrée with extra chips on the side.

Panera Bread
Funny that as I’m writing this I’m taken back to when I visited Panera just yesterday. It is the perfect place to bring your laptop, study and enjoy a free birthday treat or pastry while you get in the mood to study. I recommend going in the evenings because it’s not too busy then.

Sephora
Before you start, I know that this is one of the popular ones. I mean, who doesn’t know that Sephora hands out cool birthday gifts?? Actually, I had a vague idea that they gave cute mini essentials but had no clue how legit they were. I can now confirm that it’s true and you should totally sign up for it.
