Today’s my birthday, so I’m taking you with me while I collect some of the best 2026 birthday freebies (and a few birthday rewards that feel just as good). I start off strong with one of my favorites—Starbucks—because yes, you can get a free any-size coffee. I went all in with my order: a triple espresso in a venti cup with caramel brûlée cold foam, caramel brûlée sauce, lined caramel, blonde espresso, a splash of non-fat milk, and caramel drizzle. Cheers… it was delicious and amazing. After that, I did a little self-care moment with my nails (not free, but my nail place gives 10% off for your birthday with their rewards program). Then it was free treat time: my Crumbl birthday cookie (I chose the celebration cake cookie—literally tastes like birthday celebration), plus a McDonald’s birthday freebie (I picked the 6-piece nuggets after debating a cheeseburger). I also grabbed a Nothing Bundt Cakes “bundtlet” in confetti, which is such a generous size. The rest of the vlog is all about stacking birthday perks while shopping: Ulta (free birthday gift + $10 off), Sephora (I chose the Tower 28 birthday set), Bath & Body Works (I only spent $5 of my own money thanks to rewards), and American Eagle (birthday code + rewards for the cutest “Rainy Day Cafe” sweatshirt). Happy birthday to me—39 and feeling fine.
