vaporubDid you know that kids can catch six to ten colds year-round?

I’ve never kept track, but that sounds about right. I don’t think there was a single week this past winter when at least one of the kids was feeling under the weather.

Vicks would like to provide one very lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader with a little extra comfort for both mom and child. They’ve put together a “Vicks VapoRub Comfort Care” gift basket valued at $450 filled with Vicks VapoRub along with some other favorite items to make children more comfortable. The basket includes a plush Little Giraffe blanket, classic children’s books and lullaby CDs. And don’t think they forgot about Mom, especially with Mother’s Day a few days away! They’re also including a 100% cashmere wrap, some favorite soothing skincare items from L’Occitane and a manicure/pedicure kit.

For child:

  • Vicks VapoRub
  • Chenille Blanket
  • Soothing lullaby music
  • Assortment of children’s books: Corduroy, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Giving Tree, The Little Prince

For mom:

  • Nordstrom Cashmere Sweater Knit Wrap
  • L’Occitane Shea La Vie Gift Set and Hand Cream
  • Sephora Professional Manicure/Pedicure Nail Kit
  • Essie Spa Pedicure Mini Kit

    We watch our *comfort* movies–ones that we’ve seen many many times but that always make us feel good–for instance, Love, Actually.

  2. Deanna Whetten

    I think we just lay around, watch movies and turn on the humidifier. Some of my kids need breathing treatments when they’re sick so sadly we do a lot of that.

  3. Danielle

    When I get sick I like to take a bath with a mint scented bath bomb or bath oil. It clears my sinus’ and the hot water relaxes me. I also love to curl up with a good book and stay in my PJs!

  5. Mrs.Toro

    We my little ones are sick they get to drink lots of Sprite (which we normally don’t do!), watch favorite movies, and eat chicken noodle soup!

    after a doctor’s appointment, we always stop at Wendy’s to get a frosty. My mom did that with me growing up and the tradition still continues!

  8. Shannon

    When my little ones are sick, we always do lots of cuddling. For bad night time couching–crackers and water. ;)

  9. Karo

    I use lots of vicks– we go through lots of soup, popcycles and hot tea… warm blankets and books on taps or dvd….

    when my little one is sick i put her in my bed all comfy and put a cool wash cloth on her forehead and sing to her till she falls asleep then when she wakes up we talk about what she dreamed about and read books and sing again i try to keep the tv off cause its reay the only time she likes to cuddle and stay in one place so i make it mommy time with her she does enjoy it and feels special cause of all the extra attention she gets, not babysat by the tv

  13. Karo

    I post/ share your info w/ my yahoo Super Savers Sharing group….
    does that count as blogging?

    I will put vicks vapor rub on a warm wet hand towel and place it on there chest under their shirt. It really seems to sooth them. I also use those rice warm buddies. You can heat them up in the microwave and put around your neck or anywhere really. I really like them because you can also put the ones I have in the freezer and they are cozy and cold for a good while. I will post a link to the brands website. They are awesome. I get them from my wonderful hometown (not many around) Pharmacy. They are great lifesavers.

    We love vaporizer plug-ins and our cool mist humidifier. Can’t imagine going through colds without them!!! We also cuddle up and watch lots of DVD’s! I’m a big fan of Vicks, too. This is an awesome prize package – wow!!

    I make chicken soup, turn on the humidifier in the bedroom at night, rub my kids’ chests with Vicks Vaporub, and dring Emergen-C 3 times a day.

  21. Cindy

    I would snuggle them into bed and make my homemade chicken noodle soup and rub there chest with vics vapor rub.

  25. Laura M

    I hate it when my kids get colds! The best thing I can do is take both of our minds off of it, usually with Popsicles (in the summer) and hot chocolate (in the winter) complete with many snuggles and movies to keep us distracted!

  27. Amy

    I let them lay on the couch with blankets and pillows, watch some television, eat popsicles or drink milkshakes, and just give them some extra loving attention. Of course, I give them any appropriate medicinal treatment.
