A savvy Sheffield woman used a huge shopping centre to have the ultimate birthday – collecting 12 free birthday items from businesses including Greggs and Hotel Chocolat.

Julia, 24, spent three hours in Meadowhall Sheffield to walk around different businesses which offer birthday treats for signing up to their sites and promotions.

She told how many of the items can be collected for up to a month after your birthday.

"I just remember last year getting an email from the body shop saying I’d been given a £5 voucher to spend for my birthday and from then I’ve always known you can get freebies.
