Best Beauty Giveaways in Boise, ID: 2026 Local Guide
Milwaukee Street stores let rewards members collect birthday gifts in person and skip online minimums.
Boise has two verified birthday-month pickups for beauty rewards members: Sephora and Ulta. A birthday reward here means a membership benefit issued for your birthday month, not a prize drawing. Both options allow in-store pickup without an online order.
The choice comes down to membership, timing and where you redeem on Milwaukee Street.

Where to redeem in Boise
Sephora lists its Boise location at 350 N Milwaukee St., Ste. 1031, Boise, ID 83704, with in-store pickup and free product sampling listed, according to the Sephora store page Boise store listing. That listing makes it the confirmed Sephora pickup point for this guide.
Ulta lists its redeeming Boise store at Boise Towne Plaza, 542 North Milwaukee St., Boise, ID 83704, phone (208) 375-7472, according to the Ulta store directory Boise Towne Plaza store listing. Both pickup points sit on North Milwaukee Street. For a Boise trip, that proximity helps.
You can plan one shopping run and confirm each store's hours before you go.
How does the Sephora gift work?
Sephora offers free Beauty Insider members one birthday gift set during their birthday month, with 2026 options including Tower 28 Beauty, Dr. Dennis Gross, Dae and Glossier, and members can redeem that gift free in-store while online redemption requires a $25 minimum merchandise purchase, according to Sephora Newsroom 2026 birthday gift announcement. The in-store path avoids the online spending threshold.
For readers deciding between pickup and delivery, the difference is cost. In-store means no added purchase to get the set. Online means meeting the minimum first.
- Check that Beauty Insider membership is active before your month starts
- Plan an in-store visit for the no-minimum path
- Use online only if you already need $25 in merchandise
What does Ulta allow in-store?
Ulta states that no purchase is needed to redeem the birthday gift in-store, while Ulta.com and app redemption follows coupon terms and generally requires a purchase or pickup order, according to the Birthday Rewards page birthday redemption details. The channel changes the terms. For Boise members, that favors the counter over checkout online.
In-store keeps the gift separate from an order. Online ties it to coupon or pickup terms. Redemption is tied to the rewards account.
Keep birthday and contact details current so the benefit appears when expected.
How to avoid a missed window?
Timing matters more than product choice. Birthday benefits are month-bound, so an early-month visit leaves room to fix account issues. Check membership status before October ends if your birthday is near.
Confirm the Milwaukee Street store you want. Bring your rewards login for quick lookup at the counter. Pick the in-store option during your birthday month to avoid online minimums and coupon terms.
