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

    I love to pamper my son when he is sick. He loves it when i make him a bed on the sofa so he can watch cartoons, make him tea and toast! We have been doing this for so long, he’s 14 now and loves the attention still! Thanks!

    When the kids are feeling under the weather, I like to bundle them up in my bed. I fix some of their favorite comfort foods and we watch movies, nap, and read books together. Sometimes, just a little TLC is the best medicine.

    my mom always put vicks on my “mustache” area and on my chest. That way i would smell vicks every night i was sick….

    For comfort, we get plenty of rest and drink ginger ale. Chicken soup is a nice comfort for the body along with salt gargles.

    I always give them lots of love and some vicks cold medicine. I apply vicks vapor rub (on their necks and chest). Always bundle them up so it works better , and if they are real bad I have them wear a turtle neck my grandma used to tie a kitchen towel around our necks lol.

    I stop what I am doing as a busy mom and just sit with them. Sometimes it’s to just hold them or rub their hair, somtimes to watch a show with them or just to read them a book. What a great gift pack thanks!

    I’m a subscriber and have you on my blogroll. When my son is sick, (thankfully not often, the kid has an immune system of steel), we cuddle in bed, read lots of books, take naps, and eat fruit-juice popsicles. Thanks for the always excellent information here at dealseekingmom!

    when I was little my mom always got out the vicks when I had a stuffy nose or a cough

    It might sound cliche, but chicken noodle soup really does make me feel better when I am sick!

    When my granddaughter catches a cold I set her up on the couch with a fluffy pillow and blanket,a favorite stuffed animal,turn on her favorite tv show and give her some of my homemade chicken noodle soup. I sit beside her and stroke her hair.

    When my 15 month old gets a cold I put vicks vapor rub on MY chest, neck, etc. Then we both get into the shower and let the aroma/steam/heat soothe. Usually he falls asleep on my chest. We get out and wrap up in a soft bath robe.

    There is something about staying in bed that makes you feel truly rested. I snuggle up in bed with my favorite blanket and book and hideaway until I feel better. Thanks for the chance!

    I actually use vicks vapor to rub on their backs and feed them chicken noodle soup too.
