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

    I get my pillow and my own personal blanket to snuggle up under and watch movies when I’m feeling sick.

    to comfort myself when i have the flu…wrap myself in a warm cozy blanket with a great book.

    When the cold and flu strikes here we like to drink a cup of hot tea with soothing honey. It warms you up and helps a sore throat too.

    When I’ve got a cold or the flu, I love to lay on the couch with one of my bed pillows, a flannel blanket, and watch my favorite movies. Thanks for the opportunity.

    Go back and take Grandma’s advice; before all the chemicals.
    Rest, Chicken Soup, clear liquids, Vicks Vapor Rub, a box of Kleenex and a good DVD. Guarenteed to make you better, just like it has for generations.

    My 2 month old recently had a cold. It broke my heart to see her so uncomfortable. I took her to the doctor and she suggested Pedialyte to help hydrate her and a humidifier in her room. My mother-in-law also strongly recommended that I put “salve” (Vick’s Baby rub) on her chest, under her arms, and on her feet at night. All these suggestions together with lots of rocking and holding her close helped to comfort and help her get better.

    I comfort my sick baby by elevating the end of her bed or holding her upright in the night so that she can breath easier. We also use a nasal aspirator constantly!

    Whenever I feel sick with a bad cold or flu I love being under the covers with the smell of Vicks in the air!! I’ve always used it and it always makes me feel better!!!

  23. Marilyn

    Nothing is better than lemon, water, and a bit of honey–warmed in the micro. And I do love Vick’s scented tissues!

  25. Anita

    Boy – I sure want to win this package. I have used Vicks since I was old enough to walk. PICK ME!

    I order a bunch of movies, make homemade soup, and curl up with a big fat fluffy blanket :)
