Birthday Freebies Boston

Psst… This post has been updated in 2015 and 2016 and 2017 Birthday Freebies in the Greater Boston Area

Have you ever wondered where you could eat for free on your birthday and grab other free birthday offers in Boston, Massachusetts, and beyond?

Well this past weekend was my birthday and I received a lot of lovely e-mails on my big day and the weeks leading up from various restaurants and companies. Last year around this time I also shared all the birthday offers I received in my inbox from local and national companies; however, I wanted to update and reorganize the post, since I received a few more birthday offers this year!

Some of the birthday offers take a little bit of planning since you need to subscribe to a birthday club or e-mail list. Below are all the birthday freebies I received for my birthday. The last two sections (Free Birthday Dinners & Even More Free Birthday Stuff) I did not receive, but I wanted to include them since they are awesome free birthday gifts too!
