Every holiday season our friends and family gather for the fun and festivities that the season brings. Unfortunately, with the season also comes the colds, cough, and flu. Nothing is more uncomfortable that being sick during this festive season! When my friends call me up alerting me they are sick, I like to put together a get well care kit and deliver it to their home. Instead of preparing these kits on the fly, I am going to be extra prepared and assemble care kits using my favorite must-have items from Kroger. This season when the sickness strikes, I will be ready!

First, I find a cute basket and then I add all my favorite cold and flu season necessities. To make sure I have everything covered, my care kit will include:

    • Abreva® Pump Cold Sore and Fever Blister Treatment

 

    • Breathe® Right Extra Clear Nasal Strips

 

    • Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes

 

    • Robitussin® Maximum Strength Cough & Chest DM

 

  • Theraflu Power Pods Daytime Severe Cold

I include Abreva® because nothing heals your cold sore faster than Abreva® among OTC cold sore products, and when a cold sore appears – it’s no fun. Abreva® is not for temporary symptom relief, but healing. It delivers the best results when used at the first sign of a cold sore (e.g. the tingle that one feels on his/her lip). It’s easy to apply and could heal a pesky cold sore in 2 1/2 days!* I know my friends will appreciate Abreva® when a cold sore strikes!

Whenever I am stuffy from the cold or flu, Breathe® Right is my go-to to help me breathe better at night. It is so hard to get a good nights sleep when you can’t breathe well. Breathe® Right strips provide relief for congestion due to colds, allergies, or a deviated septum and reduce snoring caused by nighttime nasal congestion. They open your nose up to 38% more than decongestant sprays alone and helps increase airflow so you can breathe better. Breathe® Right is drug-free and safe to use with any sleep medication. Within each Breathe® Right strip are flexible, “spring-like” bands. On the underside is a special adhesive that, when placed properly on the nose, gently sticks to the area right above the flare of each nostril. As the bands attempt to straighten back to their original shape, they gently lift the sides of the nose and open the nasal passages, providing immediate and continual relief. Breathe® Right clear nasal strips work the same way the tan strips do. However, the materials used are slightly different, making clear strips easier to remove, which can be beneficial for people with dry or sensitive skin. These are awesome and a must-have in any care package because when you can breathe better, you can sleep better! I want my friends to get a good nights rest when they aren’t feeling well.

To help my friends battle the cold and flu viruses in their home, I include a package of Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes. They wipe away 99.9% of the most common allergens** to help fight the germs!

To provide relief from the cold and flu, I pack a bottle of Robitussin in the care package. With Robitussin, you can fight your cough and help kick your symptoms to the curb. The liquid-strength of Robitussin soothes on contact and provides cough relief for hours.

And finally, I don’t want the cold or flu to get in my friends way, so I pack them Theraflu Power Pods Daytime Severe Cold. They fit right in your routine and are compatible with most single-serve coffee makers.  These fast-relieving pods work on even your severe symptoms! Press. Sip. Relief. There are so many annoying cold and flu symptoms to battle, but Theraflu Power Pods temporarily relieves all these symptoms due to a cold:

    • minor aches and pains

 

    • headache

 

    • nasal and sinus congestion

 

    • cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation

 

    • minor sore throat pain

 

  • temporarily reduces fever

Theraflu Power Pods Nighttime Severe Cold is also available for nighttime relief!

Remember, Theraflu Power Pods Daytime Severe Cold and Robitussin® should not be used at the same time.

To create this wellness package for my friends I shopped at Fred Meyer, part of the Kroger Family of Stores. Kroger is a destination for all of my flu needs! All the products can be found in the health and wellness aisle at Fred Meyer.
