My birthday is May 25th. I smokle and have been signed up for offers etc from RJReynolds the makers of Marlboros my brand. Now they send me all sorts of things all year long. Mostly coupons but ever so often a free gift of some sort. Each year I get an nadded B-Day gift as well. This is the one I got yesterday in the mail. It's a set of steel dice with a booklet with a few different types of games to play with 2 or more people. Plus a nice black velvety like bag with silver drawstrings. Kind of neat even if it will be just a conversation piece. I also get things for my B-Day from the casinos I frequent as well as a couple stores like Dairy Queen and Old Country Buffet. Do you get free gifts from any companies at all throughout the year and on your birthday?

I got those as well before. Sign back up.
It's easier if you were previously with them.

..no the companies, entrepreneurs and stores all ignore me on my birthday.. Marlboro or is it Camel? sends coupons to my kids.. daughter is pregnant and quit smoking so now son gets them all.. That dice set sounds kind of nice! Wonder if he can graduate to getting one of those.. I must shop at the wrong places all I get in the mail is bills.. oh and things I buy on ebay.. somebody's gotta buy me some gifts, might as well be be..

I posted some of my birthday gifts. Its fun to get items from companies and this year looks like its going to be one of my highest. I'm also receiving many cards with coupons.

You sure are lucky in receiving free gifts that you receive. About the only thing I ever receive is free address labels, and I hardly use them since I pay most things on line anymore, and send e-mail and not snail mail! Congrats on your freebies!

Advance Happy Birthday Grandpa Bob!
I do receive birthday and Christmas gifts from different companies too. More often than not, they send me greeting cards. I never really have received anything from Marlboro though. 
I mean, I would love to since it is my brand! I saw the picture of the gift they gave you. I wish I could have one too.

No I don't, I guess I don't sign up for all sorts of sites in order to get things free from companies... Not that I am saying it's a bad thing, cause it's always nice to get something in the mail you don't have to pay for... *Giggles* By the way Happy Birthday even though it's next Sunday!!

that is great, I don't get any freebies for my birthday, I hardly even get any birthday cards anymore, and that include the free online ones.

No-- I wish I did--- I do get coupons from some of the stores that I shop at for my birthday! But not any gifts. I need to start spending more time at the casino's.. LOL I want free gifts too-- like hotel rooms for the night-- or dinners out...
Happy birthday soon :)

That's great that you get b-day gifts from various companies. I never do, just e-cards or cards thru snail mail.

I get things every so often from Basic-coupons mainly. But a little while ago they sent me some salt shakers that is the head and tail of a fish! It's so cute, I'm going to send it to my friend who loves to fish. I was going to get a portable ashtray but I can't get on the site for some reason so oh well..
I love getting free things! Got a deck of Bicycle cards in the mail yesterday for taking a 5 minute survey for them a few weeks ago.
Happy birthday in advance!

No I do not get freebies, or anything on my birtday, which incidentally is not much longer after yours. I will wish you a Happy Birthday now though, while I am thinking about it because it is next Sunday and I will not be here!!! So Happy Birthday for next week!!
Your little free birthday gifts sound cool though.
