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

    Snuggle with the kids, have a movie night, play games in bed, set up the humidifier, rub vicks under their nose & on their chests.

    I like to cuddle up with a book and blanket and eat chicken noodle soup and drink tea ALL day when I’m sick with a cold. It’s harder with my baby… I just do as much as I can with him but he’s not a cuddler even when he’s sick. :(

    Snuggling up in bed together and watching a movie is the way I comfort Liz and Tristan.

    For a cold I just try to have the ‘sickie’ soldier on; I chase after them with tissues and sanitizing get. We do use Vicks for night time relief

    I soak in a hot bath and after I use vicks. Then I snuggle up with some good movies. Works like a charm!

    I really dont have a special remedy. I treat my kids extra special when they are sick though. Let them sleep on the sofa, make them soup, etc.

    thank you

    when mine are sick…a nice warm bath with the vick’s vapor bath is always soothing :)

    When my 20 month old son has a cold, we bathe him in Johnson&Johnson’s Vapor Bath. It always helps him breathe better – along with a little of mom’s loving!

    when I’m all stuffy in the head, those facial steamers for healthy skin work great for the nose, too

    When I’m sick, I just like to stay in bed. My husband will take care of me when he gets home from work…I also take good care of him when he is sick.
    Thanks Tara, for the opportunity for this great prize.

    Happy Mother’s Day:)
