You've Been Missing Out on This 1 Incredible Birthday Freebie Every Year

If you're all about scoring birthday freebies to celebrate your big day, you may need to sit down to process this whopper of a life hack: you can get a free Diptyque candle for your birthday. That's right! Those oh-so-Instagrammable and addictive candles are at the top of any decor-lover's wish list, so the fact that you can score a free mini candle during your birthday month is major news.

According to a Diptyque store employee, all you need to do is present your ID at a brick-and-mortar Diptyque location to get your birthday candle. While the brand's birthday gifts aren't full-size candles and you don't get to pick the scent, it's still a delightful treat to get a mini birthday extra! Plus, while you're in the store, you might decide to splurge on that tuberose perfume or Baies votive from your longtime wish list. After all, it'd be a shame not to treat yourself on your birthday!

Update May 2, 2017: Certain Diptyque locations have opted out of the birthday freebie program.
