Birthday freebies are offers that many brands share to help you celebrate your special day, like a free treat, a discount, or bonus rewards. Some are loyalty freebies (for people who've shopped with the merchant before), others are complimentary with a purchase, and some are completely free just for having a birthday. You'll also find birthday discounts or extra points for loyalty programs to add a little fun. TheBirthdayFreebies.ca helps gather these all in one place so you can easily see which brands are waiting to celebrate with you!

TheBirthdayFreebies.ca is a free, actively maintained directory that helps you find the best birthday freebies and special offers in Toronto, around the GTA, and across Canada. It gathers and verifies birthday deals from popular brands and local spots, and makes it easier for you to find them so you can focus on celebrating your special day. (Fun fact: It was born out of someone's yearly experience of missing out on unknown birthday freebies, and on one birthday realized that a site like this would help them, their family and friends, and maybe you, too!)

You can reach The Birthday Freebies directly by emailing hello@thebirthdayfreebies.ca. Send over your message, whether you have a question, want to post a new offer, need to report an expired one, or would like to feature your brand on this site.

There are a few ways The Birthday Freebies tries to maintain the freshness of birthday offer details. (1) Visitors can report any that are outdated/incorrect, or confirm that they are ready for redemption. (2) There is a real human manually checking merchant websites, or even attempting to verify details by getting in touch with the merchant. (3) Currently exploring other efforts that can help with proactively checking for changes with merchants' offers, although the goal is to always to have a real person manually verify and finalize any updates or additions. Birthday offers can change quite often, and merchants may do so without notice, so a combination of strategies (especially feedback from you!) will help keep these offers ready for someone's birthday. Site visitors are encouraged to always click the source links to double-check details directly.

Merchants may change offer terms without notice, and sometimes prefer to keep details a surprise! This can make it a little tricky to provide fullsome offer redemption instructions and constraints. The Birthday Freebies tries to be very diligent when checking merchant sites and recent social media posts, as well as other available online resources, or even reaching out to merchants directly to help fill the gaps. The goal is to verify each posted offer at least once a year to keep things fresh and relevant for your next birthday. If you notice anything out-of-date, please consider reporting it to us using the reporting feature on each offer page. You can also let us know by reaching out to hello@thebirthdayfreebies.com

It's best to sign up early! Some merchants send birthday rewards weeks in advance, while others send them right before your birthday. Signing up at least a month before your birthday gives you the best chance to receive the offers you're interested in. And remember: some offers don't require any signup at all! Check out the 'No Signups' category or filter.

Plan ahead! Sign up early for offers that need registration, and keep an eye on your inbox as your birthday approaches. On your actual birthday, focus on redeeming same-day-only deals, then use your birthday week or month to enjoy the rest. Each offer page lists how long it's valid, so you can have idea of how much time you have. Make sure to visit the site for every birthday to find new offers and confirm how to remain eligible for your favorite offers.

Many are, but not all. Some merchants offer 100% free gifts, while others provide discounts, complimentary freebies when you make a purchase, or gifts to loyal shoppers who have shopped with them before. The Birthday Freebies tries to note any conditions on each offer, so you have an idea of know what to expect before heading out.

Some merchants may ask for ID to confirm your birthday, especially for in-store offers that are redeemable without signup. Try to bring your ID when redeeming any offer, just in case!

Many are available across Canada, but some deals depend on where the merchant operates. Currently this directory of offers has a focus on Toronto and the GTA, but The Birthday Freebies will focus on expanding more broadly very soon. Each offer page includes a handy Google Maps link so you can quickly find the closest participating spot near you.

Awesome! Please email hello@thebirthdayfreebies.ca with redemption details, validity period information, and any relevant webpages that you would like to be linked on the offer page. The offer page will be up and running in no time to make sure it's ready for the next birthday celebrants.

Of course, though The Birthday Freebies and our birthday celebrants will be sad to see you go. Please email hello@thebirthdayfreebies.ca to deactivate the your brand's offer page on our site. You can always reach back out to activate it again.

Birthday offers are a simple but meaningful way to make customers feel appreciated and remembered. They create a positive connection at a time when people are already in a good mood and celebrating themselves! A small freebie, a bonus reward, or any special discounts can turn one-time visitors into loyal fans who look forward to coming back each year (and in between birthdays). It's also a fun way for your brand to be part of someone's celebration. Browse The Birthday Freebies directory to get ideas for what you can offer, and email hello@thebirthdayfreebies.ca when you're ready for your offer to go live.

The Birthday Freebies is always open to partnerships and collaborations that help connect people with great birthday offers and experiences. Reach out anytime at hello@thebirthdayfreebies.ca to get the conversation started.
