Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday lets you store reminders about upcoming birthdays. You can store up to 25 separate birthday reminders, and specify whether you want to be reminded 3, 7 or 14 days before each recorded date.

Hassle Me

More of an automated nagging service than a reminder service, Hassle Me lets you set up a reminder to get on with a particular task, and it will keep sending reminders every few days (you specify the approximate interval, and the service randomises it) until you tell it to stop. Great for procrastinators!
