I always tend to help the lazy. So if you don’t want to read the article then you can just watch the vid and watch me actually take advantage of these free birthday things. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8olOXhF8zqs

It’s your birthday, or almost your birthday, which will give you enough time to read this exciting list I’ve compiled for you below. You have the day off — or you will have it off…you SHOULD have it off (you hard worker you). I am going to plan out your birthday and fill it with food, fun and friends for FREE in Toronto.

1. Free Yoga

Wake up. Maybe at 7am? 8am? Do yoga. For free. At Kula Yoga.

Fine print: it cannot be your first time there. Can’t wear your birthday suit.

2. Free Breakfast

Did ya sweat out all the toxins at yoga? Perfect, let’s put some back into you by heading to Denny’s to grab a free Grand Slam Breakfast.

Fine print: there is none. THANKS DENNY’S.

3. Free Coffee

On your way back from Denny’s, stop in at Starbucks and grab your free drink. You can go as wild as you want. These girls picked up a $92.55 drink with 120 espresso shots and had their birthday reward honoured (I suggest not going that out of control seeing as it’s the third most expensive Starbucks drink ever ordered). Regardless, you can still grab your $5 drink for free and then hit up the next item on the list.

Fine print: you must be a Starbucks Rewards member (which is extremely easy to sign up for).

4. Free Pastry

Hope you left some room for dessert! Panera Bread will hook you up with a free pastry.

Fine print: sign up for their rewards card and BOOM! Instant free pastry, AND they’ll send one to your e-mail on your big birthday.

mmmmmmmm….

5. Free Smoothie

Now that you’ve had a couple hours to let that tummy settle, head on over to Booster Juice and grab your free birthday smoothie!

Fine print: you must sign up for their mailing list at least 24 hours before your birthday. (I hope you’re reading this any other day besides your birthday!!!)

6. Free Lunch

If you’ve followed all of the previous steps thus far, then you may not be prepared for this one. But how can you not take advantage of another free birthday perk?! Free all-you-can-eat buffet at the Mandarin!

Fine print: this may take a while…1) you must sign-up for their mailing list at least 24 hours prior to your birthday, 2) you must bring 3 paying friends, 3) you must bring the printed coupon, and lastly, 4) you must bring government-issued photo ID.

7. Free Ice Cream

Assuming you didn’t stuff your face with ice cream at the Mandarin, you can stuff your face at Marble Slab Creamery (for free of course).

Fine print: subscribe to “Marble Mail” at least 24 hours prior to your birthday and get your free ice cream! (they send you an e-mail on your birthday to “buy one get one”…so bring a friend)

i scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

8. Free Hair-DO

Time to get ready for that big night out in Toronto! Prive Hair Gallery offers free blowouts on your big birthday!

Fine print: it’s with a junior stylist (proceed with caution), and you must bring ID.

9. Free Dinner AND Tournament

More. Food. But also — some entertainment! Throw it back to the Medieval Times and enjoy dinner alongside a tourny at Medieval Times — Toronto Castle.

Fine print: you must sign up for their mailing list and bring at least 1 friend.

10. Free Late Night Eats

You may or may not have been drinking all day, so before you hit the sack, be sure to stop in at The WORKS to grab some more free food.

Fine print: you must join their loyalty program. You can sign up online and request a card be mailed to you or you can pop by a location and scoop one up. I suggest you do this at least a couple weeks in advance. Also, must make a purchase with your loyalty card before your birthday.

Well, well, well…didn’t think your birthday was going to be THIS good, did ya? Enjoy a free day filled with food, fun and friends in Toronto!

P.S. don’t forget to share this. Especially with those who have birthdays comin’ up.
