Birthday Celebrations

You don't have to drive all the way to Chevy's to have waiters and busboys make a ridiculous fuss about your birthday (though you might have to go there if you want a free sombrero). If you mention it's your birthday, you might get the following deals:

Caffe Italia gives a free "Elmer's Sundae", which is a scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate shell on top. Also, if you are on their mailing list, they also send you a coupon on your half-birthday for a free dinner.
Baskin Robbins has a birthday club where they send you a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream.
Cold Stone Creamery also has a birthday club where they send you a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream.
Davis Sushi Buffet lets "birthday people" eat for free only if you bring in a party of at least four.
Jusco gives you a free meal on your birthday if you bring in another customer.

Decorations and Equipment

Gifts

Cards

Birthday cards can be found at most grocery stores, Bookstores, drug stores and gift shops. You can also make your own cards, but it should be noted that if you make one using free clip art on your computer, the card should be accompanied by a stellar gift (or a crisp $20 bill) so as to offset the appearance that you are a cheapskate.
