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

    This giveaway sounds great! In fact I have a couple of sick ones right now. The Dr. say’s it’s something going around. Hope I don’t get it. I’m the caregiver. They stay in bed as much as posssible, rest, take their meds with plenty of juice and we read stories. Also, I’m already a subscriber and can hardly wait for your email. Thanks so much!

    the thing that works best for my kiddies when they get sick is my homemade chicken soup and running the humidifier!

    Like all Moms, I am too busy to get sick.!! For everyone ellse, its snuggles under blankies, fave shows, drinks & food!!

    I love to curl up with a hot cup of tea and a good book- then as I get comfortable, I can lay down and take a nap- the best way to get comfortable!

    Like you, I also make chicken soup when someone in my family is sick. Also make sure they drink lots of liquids.

    When I get sick, there’s no “comfort” for me! I’m a stay-at-home mom with two little ones under 4 and one on the way. If I’m sick, as my 3 1/3 year old would say, “everything is ruined!” However, when my little ones are sick we snuggle on the couch and read books, despite the contagious factor, of course. The sick child gets the ultimate in “mommy” attention and the healthy one gets to go play at grammy’s house for a few hours. Whenever my oldest is sick or needs comfort he requests the ABC’s to be “written” on his back with my finger. Sometimes it’s the only thing that soothes him.

    When my kids are sick, we snuggle on the couch and watch lots of Noggin and Sprout :)

    Believe it not… I want hot, sweet coffee. The heat makes me feel better and the caffeine is a pick me up… The baby just likes to snuggle when she’s sick.

    I let the sick one stay in bed while I bring soup or drinks to make them feel better.

  25. Jane Baker

    I am similar to you in that I love a hot bowl of chicken soup for comfort. Also a warm snuggly blanket and comfy pillows.
