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 just hate when anyone gets a cold as there is really very little that can be done. One of the thing we do is to put a little of Eucalyptus Oil on a cotton ball and keep it near the pillow. It really helps

    Chicken noodle soup is my old standby when any of us are sick. If its my youngest son, he gets the broth in his sippy cup!

    When my girls are sick I like to make them a warm cup of tea and honey it both tastes good and soothes their throats. We then pull out their favorite movies and snuggle up with some warm blankets and watch them.

    LOTS of snuggling with my baby boy when he has a cold…and of course, some homemade chicken soup :)

    I set up the hot and honey basket and stack all our quilts and pillows in the livingroom ~ misery LOVES the company…hee hee…

    I’m a Vicks girl. Rub it on your chest and breathe in those vapors. Sometimes, I even put the covers over my head.

    For sore throat…put a wash cloth with very warm water for 10 minutes, then take it off and put on a cold water cloth for 45 minutes. Works great!

    Old fashioned or not, I go for the chicken soup, lots of hot tea, a blanket and old movies or a good book. Yep–it comforts me!

    When I get a cold I stick it out without medication. I stay in bed for at least one whole day and stay away from exercising the first real day of symptoms. If I have a sore throat, hot milk with honey is perfect! But not so much if you have a runny nose. Milk only makes that worse.

    We stay in bed and read or watch our favorite videos-and we sleep! Thank you!
