As if celebrating your big day with a ton of birthday freebies wasn’t enough, now you can enjoy twice the free stuff with half birthday freebies. While not as common as full birthday offerings, we found a handful of restaurants and retailers that’ll give you something special halfway to your next birthday.
You may be wondering, “What is a half birthday exactly?” A half birthday refers to a day that’s exactly six months before your real birth date. So let’s say your birthday is Dec. 25. That means June 25 is six months before your birthday, making June 25 your half birthday. Usually, half birthdays come and go without much thought — but if you can get some freebies and discounts on your half birthday, why would you miss out?
Let’s face it, this is almost more fun. No stress over turning another year older (yet), and it’s a fun way to enjoy some discounts or free coffee. If you haven’t celebrated your half birthday since, well, never, now is the time.
Mark your calendar: here are the best half birthday discounts and freebies to get in 2025.
