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 also put vics on the bottom of my kids feet when they get a cold. Sure works. I like to snuggle with them on the couch with a warm blanket and a good movie.

  3. Jenni

    Lots of liquids, homemade chicken noodle soup, lots of rest, some tylenol and warm compresses, warm baths, and cuddling time with mommy on the couch!

  7. Joanne Willey

    I make sure that my son has plenty of fluids including popsicles. I stay with him and watch favorite tv shows! I give him all the TLC I can give in hopes for a speedy recovery!

  8. Jen S.

    Lots of extra cuddles, warm baths, oh and that nose suck aspirator (my 7 mo. old currently has a nasty cold!)

  9. cari

    Chicken noodle soup and 7-up. Cuddle up on the couch with pillows and blankets and watch their favorite movies.

    When my kids are sick we sit together in the recliner…for as many days as it takes! When I am sick I love to take warm baths and sleep! Great giveaway! Thanks

  12. Angela

    When my son is sick we let him sleep in our bed. That is the only time he gets too. For him its comforting and a treat at the same time.

  13. Sharon

    My baby is still little…only 8 months old, but when she is sick I rub Vicks on her chest and then rub her back until she falls asleep.

    we always use vicks, i put on my nose and temple when i get stuffy and on the kids feet when they have a hard breathing at night. also love your page great info.

  16. Christine

    I like to take a shower or bath, and have some tea to help me feel better. And I use a humidfier (if its winter) and some vicks and vitamin C.

  19. Heidi

    Sweet! What a cool prize!!!!
    My favorite thing to do is rub vicks on their feet before they go to bed. It keeps them from getting it in their eyes when their eyes water from the vapors!

    I get my kids all set up out on the couch with pillows and blankets while they’re in their jammies and we watch tv/dvd’s, read books, etc. I get them whatever they need and bring them something to eat and plenty of water….and we just hang out.

    What a fabulous prize package! Both the child’s and mom’s package are full of soothing goodies. Our oldest son just beginning to get over a sever bout with a virus! He was running a 103.6 degree fever at one point. Besides going to the doctor for medical help, he was comforted by all of his family members at one time or another! This includes, being brought chicken noodle soup, lots of various drinks,
    his medicine, his favorite blanket and being read to. Please enter my name in your delightful contest. Many thanks!
