Who doesn't adore receiving thoughtful gifts from loved ones on their birthday? However, you might be unaware that numerous high street retailers are also eager to celebrate your special day with complimentary treats. A social media influencer has recently compiled an extensive list of birthday freebies available from major brands, and his viral post has captivated the internet, garnering over 41,000 likes.
Influencer Reveals Birthday Perks
Angelo Coassin, who typically shares culinary content with his 1.5 million followers, diverted from his usual posts in a recent reel to highlight these birthday offers. The content creator began the video holding a Rituals shopping bag, with on-screen text announcing: 'Everything you can get for free on your birthday'. Throughout the clip, bags from various high street favourites made appearances, including Lindt, Krispy Kreme, Space NK, and Lidl.
Detailed Breakdown of Freebies
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." It's important to note that you'll need to be signed up to the Lidl Plus loyalty scheme to claim this offer.
Rituals was second on the list. He noted: "With a small purchase, you can get a hand wash or cream completely for free." This provides an excellent opportunity to indulge in luxury skincare without the full price tag.
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, emphasising the delightful experience.
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, showcasing the variety available.
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." This highlights how beauty enthusiasts can enjoy high-end products without spending a penny.
Practical Advice for Claiming Offers
In his follow-up caption, Angelo announced: "This is everything you can get FOR FREE on your birthday!" He added, "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)." This flexibility ensures you don't miss out even if you're travelling.
Social Media Reaction
The post sparked enthusiastic responses from followers. One 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!" demonstrating how many people are unaware of these generous offers.
This comprehensive guide not only saves you money but also adds an extra layer of celebration to your birthday. With retailers from doughnuts to chocolates and beauty products participating, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Always check individual store policies and loyalty programme requirements to ensure you can claim these delightful freebies seamlessly.
