by

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

    Whenever someone in my house is sick we use the vicks plug in at night. It reminds me of everytime when I was sick as a child and my mom got out the vicks vapor rub. My husband says he thinks I am the only person who loves the smell of it!

    Stephanie´s last blog post..This is why I love Target!

    We like to snuggle up on the couch and watch TV for a special treat while we’re sick. Also, tylenol cold and a favorite blankie!

    Hi. When I feel sick I put on my favorite jammies, make a pot of tea and curl up on the couch with my cat.

    we take vitamin c to try to prevent getting colds…but once we get them…we stock up on good juices to keep us hydrated!

    When my son is sick I get the Vicks plug in, and I used a vaporizor, it seems to help him breath a lot. I just make sure he gets lots of rest, and liquids, and of course lots of love. We usually read a lot of books, and a few movies too. I try not to give him to much medicine, but sometimes I give him the strips, I have used the Vicks rub stuff too, I use it more on me when I am sick than him.

    By far the best thing I have found are the Vicks VaporPads with the vaporizer (except it uses the pads). It is GREAT… The kids use it when they have colds/sinuses, I use it when I have a cold or bad sinus headache and I turned my parents on to them and they have one now. I love you don’t have the mess of the water vaporizers and the mist is no longer getting my carpet wet.
