Birthdays aren't just about gifts — but they sure do make the day even more fun. Celebrate becoming another year older and wiser with these local freebies + deals available on your birthday, suggested by our readers.

Publix
By joining Club Publix, you won't just get a freebie once a year — the supermarket also celebrates your half-birthday with a discount on ice cream or a bar cake (the carrot cake is calling our name).

Family Fun Center
You don't have to be a kid to sign up for the Birthday Club and receive a free round of mini golf or laser tag each year.

Fred's Market
Celebrate buffet-style by signing up for this restaurant's loyalty club. You'll get a free dinner on the night of your birthday.

Nothing Bundt Cakes
Join the eClub for a free Bundlet cake — we won't tell anyone if you decide not to share.

Swan Brewing
Sign up for the loyalty program, grab a free pint, and toast to a new year in the taproom.

Texas Cattle Company
Visit on your birthday for $25 off an adult entree. Pro tip: You must have a valid ID with your birthday, and someone in your party must purchase an entree of greater or equal value.
