Whether you prefer a big blow-out party or a quiet celebration at home, it’s nice to get a little gift on your birthday. Especially when cash is tight, there’s nothing like treating yourself to a round of freebies every year, ranging from sweets to full meals, and even some cosmetics and other services. As one of my most popular posts, it’s my pleasure to update The Ultimate Vegan Birthday Freebies for 2024!
We’ve lost a few, as some businesses close and others restructure their rewards programs, but at the same time, there are also some new entries to get the party started.
We’ve got two more joining the list for nationwide freebies:
Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea
Refresh or recharge after your birthday festivities with any drink your heart desires. Sign up for SweetRewards to start sipping in style. All Sweetwaters locations have at least soy and almond milk to brighten your lattes, so don’t be afraid to ask about substitutions. If you’re craving a less caffeinated pick-me-up, their signature sodas and lemonades won’t disappoint.
Planet Smoothie
Not feeling so great about getting older? Shake it off and cash in on a $6 reward for your birthday, which can turn into one free kid’s shake. Make sure you sign up Planet VIP program at Planet Smoothie to get your name on the list. You’ll even have some value leftover, so go crazy, throw in one simple add-on, too! Stick with all-fruit combos to avoid potential dairy inclusions. Fresh really is best anyway.
Here’s the latest Austin-specific addition to the list this year:
Big Nonna’s/Li’l Nonna’s
Head north for the full sit-down restaurant experience or grab a slice to go from their trailer down south; either way, you’re in for some damn good pizza. When you join Nonna Rewards, you’ll get a nice $5 bonus for your birthday, which translates to a free plain Sicilian slice or NY slice. Given the size of these portions, that alone is plenty for a quick lunch!
Getting older isn’t exactly fun, but having some good eats to look forward to certainly helps the transition. Don’t forget to save the full list and make the most of it! Happy birthday to you too!
