It doesn't matter if we're turning 30, 40, 50, or any other age — celebrating birthdays just doesn't get old. Of course, one of the best parts about turning a year older is being showered with gifts, and when you're an adult, the next best thing to a pile of presents is the ability to scoop up birthday freebies and discounts from all of your favorite stores.
For the most part, all you have to do to claim these birthday freebies is sign up for each retailer's rewards program or mailing list. While doing this will make your email inbox considerably busier, you'll be happy you did it once your big day arrives. Just think of it as a gift for yourself.
