Happy (early or belated) birthday!
Whatever you may be planning for your special, fun day, there's nothing wrong with getting spoiled, especially with free treats and goodies all day long.
Maybe you've been planning a birthday freebie day trip since spying the idea on TikTok, or you simply want to splurge without hurting the bank. Whichever case, we've put together the ultimate list of birthday freebies you can find around Vancouver.
So queue up the birthday playlist essentials (ahem, "In Da Club" by 50 Cent) and take on the ultimate birthday freebie scavenger hunt.
