Who doesn’t like presents on their birthdays? After all, you deserve a treat just for making it through another year. Many retailers share that philosophy and reward you with a freebie on your special day. All you have to do is to sign up for them before your actual date.

It’s time to wake up.
If you like to wake up your day with a jolt of coffee, Starbucks gives you a free beverage plus 15 percent off on your birthday. But don’t just go for a small coffee, since that’s fairly cheap. Order the largest size drink mix you can find, so you get your money’s worth. A couple of caveats: you must join at least 30 days before your birthday and you need to download their app so it can be scanned. To maintain your birthday privileges, you also need to buy at least one item at any branch of the retailer in the coming year.

Head to an island.
Ever dream of getting away from it all on an island vacation? With Catalina Express, you can do exactly that on your birthday with a free round trip to the island just off the shores of Los Angeles and Orange County. All you need is a valid picture ID that shows your birth date. In addition, you can download a sheet giving you all kinds of discounts and freebies at Catalina Island, such as free bottle of wine at a hotel, a free walking tour, or a massage discount. Boats depart from Long Beach, San Pedro, and Dana Point.

Start the day right.
You can start the day right by eating a hearty breakfast. So Denny’s offers a free Grand Slam breakfast on your special day after you sign up for their rewards program. This meal comes with two fluffy buttermilk pancakes, two eggs, two bacon strips, and two sausages. You’ll also get money-saving coupons for the restaurant throughout the year.

The Age of Chivalry lives.
Travel back to the era of lords, ladies, knights, and princesses with a free admission to the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Buena Park. Redeem this goody any time during your birthday month. Prepare yourself for a two-hour medieval jousting tournament where you cheer one of six competing knights that use real weapons on real horses. You also get a four-course meal with select beverages, although you’ll have to pay extra for alcohol.

There is such thing as a free lunch.
When your tummy starts grumbling for lunch, head over to Red Robin where you can chow down on any one of 24 gourmet burgers on any day during your special month.

Keep your eye on the ball.
Join the birthday club at Tustin Ranch Golf Club, and you get a free round of golf if you bring a guest (who plays at the member rate), free range balls, and one free breakfast or lunch item from the menu. Don’t just show up, however. You’ll need to reserve your tee time in advance.
