Hello friends and friends I haven’t met yet !
Do you want to open your mailbox to some fun, sweet pieces of birthday ‘love’ in your mailbox from some of your favorite places to shop? Here are places that I like to shop at and who encourage me to come in and spend that money honey with birthday treats, coupons, and free gifts. This Scorpio is stoked to treat herself to some new clothes, fun makeup pieces, warm, seasonal drinks, and more this November.
And here we go!
Ambiance– This fantastical store in San Luis Obispo (and Paso Robles!) California has been my favorite clothing store since I was in junior high school in the nineties when it was in its original location. I have been enjoying procuring brands like Free People and Michael Stars since The Simpsons first aired. I always am excited to receive my birthday card from the gals (and one guy) at Ambiance which includes a pretty coupon for me to use. I usually get a quality piece that I have been drooling over and it is usually an accessory like a scarf or a hat. (If you have seen my Instagram you know that I am Millinophilia (hat lover/collector). I own more hats than one person should. I just adore how I feel in a good hat.
A&W– Free root beer float. No explanation needed. If you’ve had one you know how divine these treats are.
Best Buy – FREE $5 BirthdayReward As Dane Cook says ‘…ya gotta have tha coups baby’!
BajaFresh – Free birthday burrito. What a great fresh freebie!
BaskinRobins – free scoop of deliciousness tastes like my happy childhood!
Big Bad Bubba’s BBQ –
This is really the best birthday giveaway on my list…
FREE CowPie! (Yummy, super indulgent dessert)
FREE Bull Ride!
FREE Meal – up to $15!
FREE Picture!
These are all of the FREE Things that you will get for your birthday at Big Bubba’s BBQ locations in California! So much FREE-ness! I just made that word up. My mother in law and father in law share a birthday (so fun) so that was our family tradition for a while. We go, order a nice meal, watch them whip out their I.D.s and hop on the bull for some proof that you can still have fun over 50.
BodyShop – $10 reward. Can you smell your favorite scent just from reading this?! Me too. 8^) (Cucumber melon.)
Cold Stone – Half the fun of Cold Stone is watching them beat all your toppings into a big pile of gooey awesomeness and the other half is hearing them ring the tip bell when you toss your servers some coin. And then the third half of the fun is eating that brilliant creation.
GAP– $20 off (May be used at any of their partners including Banana (Republic),Old Navy, or Atletica)
Godiva – FREE $10 Birthday Reward –

KOHL’S – FREE $10 Birthday Gift– Over here daydreaming of all the Vera Wang stretchy pants and sparkly shoes oh and wondering if I should spend that cash on my daughter’s footwear that needs to be replaced for the fifth time this year…
LOFT$10 OFF – Classy ladies know LOFT has got it going on

I need to try some of these out when my birthday rolls around, I totally forgot about a few of these!
As we get older and have kids, it’s so easy to forget to celebrate ourselves!
Thanks Kai! I ended up getting a killer deal on a blazer at Banana Republic. ($210 blazer I got for $38) I also got three free lipstick samples from Sephora. <3 I hope you have fun celebrating you this year. 🙂
What a great idea! I would never have thought to do this! I’m loooking forward to my birthday next year!
Thank you Candice. I’m happy to hear that! Hugs to you!
