The Absolute Best FREE Ulta Birthday Gift 2024: Complete Year of Gifts [By Month]

It’s hard to believe this year marks eleven years since Ulta launched its revolutionary Ultamate Rewards program along with its full year of FREE Ulta birthday gift(s) program.

I’m just as excited about this awesome perk today as I was when I first heard about it.

Packed with top-notch beauty products, each Ulta birthday gift in 2024 is perfect for beauty lovers like you and me to indulge in self-care for free.

Last year, they specified what birthday gifts we could get depending on our birth month. Now, we get to choose what product we want out of the 7 choices!

From exploring new makeup trends to discovering cutting-edge skincare and haircare products, there’s something for everyone.

With Ulta, free is free. So what are the gifts for this year? See below for a quick breakdown of each birthday gift!

Here’s a snapshot of the 2024 list of Ulta birthday gifts:

I can tell that the Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Intense will not be offered as an optional gift this year.

I’m quite impressed with the free 2024 Ulta birthday gifts this year. 2020 and 2021 were a mixed bag of gifts. But we all know that those two years were tough for many businesses.

Please note: Some of the products are no longer available in Ulta.

Like previous years, the birthday freebies are available to all Ultamate Rewards members in all three tiers: Member ($0-$500 annual spend), Platinum ($500 annual spend), and Diamond ($1,200 annual spend). Join here it’s free!

Ulta Birthday Gift 2024 for Ultamate Rewards Members

As far as we know, there are no new changes to the membership status and qualifying spends for Ultamate Rewards members. As always, all reward members still get a free birthday gift during their birthday month.

OUAI Leave-In Conditioner (Travel Size)

OOTD, but with frizzy hair? Nuh-uh, not gonna happen! Because we have this OUAI Leave-In Conditioner as one of our Ulta birthday gift choices.

This vegan, cruelty-free leave-in conditioner acts as a leave-in hair mist, protecting hair from heat and reducing frizziness for a smooth hair day.

So, if you’re looking for an amazing way to celebrate your birthday this year, snag this leave-in conditioner!

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream (Deluxe Sample)

Is there any skincare enthusiast out there who hasn’t heard of Drunk Elephant? It was the rave all throughout TikTok about a year ago!

And to have the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream again (this was the Ulta birthday gift for the month of September last year) as one of the Ulta birthday gifts this year? We’re totally lucky.

Aside from being vegan and cruelty-free, this cream is composed of clean ingredients such as soybean folic acid ferment extract, pygmy waterlily stem cell extract, and signal peptide complex that helps improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.

How to Become an Ultamate Rewards Member

Anyone can sign up to become an Ultamate Member. It is free to join and only requires a few personal information and your birthday. To get the Platinum tier status, you must spend $500 in a calendar year (January 1st – December 31st).

To become a Diamond member, you must spend $1,200 in a calendar year. If we’re keeping it real, that’s a huge chunk of money, but a girl has needs.
