My birthday is coming up in a few days, and here are a few of the freebies that I am most excited about, I’ve noted if I’ve received the emails/app notifications for them this year.

Oh, and in the past, I’ve reminded those in CA, OR, FL, NY, SC, AZ, WA, and NV, to check out eBirthdayClub. There are TONS of great freebies on this site. This year I’ve only gotten “Plan a party here and receive $15 off or 2 free apps if you spend over $250” from a few companies that use eBirthdayClub. Not too exciting.
