Birthday Freebies in Boulder, CO

I've been accumulating this list for a few years, but never published it. Not sure why.

Anyway, here's some free stuff you can get in Boulder on your birthday. Most of it requires some planning in advance. I won't be in Boulder for my birthday this year (I'll be here in Philly, at the dentist's. Really. Wooooooooo.) So hopefully this list will be of more use to you.

Aveda - Coupon for free birthday gift (usually a fullsize product) redeemable at Aveda salons. Sign up online.
BJ's Brewhouse - Free Pizookie dessert. Email signup.
Cork - Free entree. Join their Connoisseur Dining Club.

If you're willing to trek to Denver:

Denver Zoo: Free admission on your birthday. Register online in advance.
The Fresh Fish Company - Not free, but members of their birthday club receive a percentage discount equal to their age. Sign up online.
LaMar's - free donut & coffee when you show up in person & join their LaMar's for life program. Register your card online & they'll load a free birthday donut on it.

Around Colorado:
Atwater on Gore Creek, Vail, CO - free entree with reservation and ID. (This seems insane to me, but it's right there on the website.)

That's all I've dug up. If there's a local deal I've missed, let me know!


I can't draw. EvaDestructionTM can, thank god.

    1. I wanted to keep this a local list - there's no BR in Boulder.

  2. Tokyo Joe's does a "half birthday" freebie if you're an Addict Club member! Not sure how far in advance you need to sign up, but you can do it through their website: http://www.toykojoes.com

    Also Ben & Jerry's gives a free scoop if you're signed up for their newsletter (and some other freebies throughout the year): http://www.benjerry.com

    I'm pretty sure Turley's does a free entree or something as well and I think you have to sign up for their mailing list in person because I don't see it on the site.

  3. Oh yeah, Sephora gives you a free gift too, if you're a "Beauty Insider" - you have your whole birthday month to pick it up in-store or redeem it when you order online (sign up on their site: https://www.sephora.com).

    If you want to venture to Broomfield or Westminster, you get a free sandwich from Which Wich if you're signed up for their newsletter too (at http://www.whichwich.com/).
