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

    Sounds like a great prize!! It’s nice to have new books on hand to read when they are sick!!

    When I was a kid my mom would rub my head for hours until I felt better. We would just cuddle on the couch. It was better than any medicine than I could ever have taken.

    Vicks is the only brand we ever used and it still is my comfort item in my household of 5.

    When my kids are sick I always get them a ‘cool cloth’ or an ice pack for their head, they love this one! It really does work and they are always requesting the cool cloth, try it! :D

    Who ever is sick gets even more TLC with movies in bed, chicken noodle soup (I always keep a batch in the freezer for just such emergency’s) and lots of cuddling.

    To comfort my children when they have a cold, I use Vivks vapor rub on their chest, and make sure they get plenty of water and sleep!

  13. Bethany

    We are the chicken soup people around here. If it’s a bad cold, we use cough medicine (from my free stash, usually) but try to avoid that. Then we cozy up with books or movies as much as possible!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Vicks vapor rub always worked well for me. There’s just something soothing about it.

    I keep home-make chicken stock in the freezer so I can start dishing it out while the fresh batch is cooking. Once the soup starts to simmer…and the kitchen smells like chicken soup…I bring the rocking chair into the kitchen, wrap the sick one in a blankie and rock-a-baby…usually within minutes, the sick one is relaxed and ready to start healing.

    The best remedy for us is lots of rest and lots of liquids including chicken soup. Thanks!

    Moderate exercise increases the immune system–being sick is no excuse to skip a workout!

  24. Stephanie

    When our kids have gotten sick we put them in bed with us so we can tell if there temp spikes and we close the door with a humidifier running.

  28. Debra F

    We make sure to treat the symptoms and get lost of rest and fluids. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    we’re very old fashioned when it comes to colds. A cold = a nice big bowl of hot soup.

    I’m usually a tough but fair mom, but when my kids are sick, I spoil them until they are better.
