Preparing for the cold and flu season is essential, especially when you have little children. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you the Vicks Vaporizer review.

No mum likes to put their little one to bed when they’re unwell, especially when they’re having trouble settling because of a blocked nose or cough. All we want to do is provide some relief to our child so that they can get a good night’s sleep, and a Vicks Vaporizer can help with that!

For this review we will be sending mums the Vicks Warm Steam Vaporizer and Vicks Double Strength Inhalant, that helps provide natural cold and cough relief for the whole family.

Household heating systems in the winter and air conditioners in the summer can rob the indoor air of its natural moisture. The lungs and respiratory tract are dependent on moisture to function effectively. The Vicks Vaporizer helps provide appropriate humidity levels to keep respiratory systems moist and healthy and helps relieve the mucous associated with cold and flu symptoms.

The Vicks Vaporizer helps relieve the symptoms of nose and throat congestion, coughs and a parched throat by thinning mucous and draining sinus passages. This clears the nasal passages for easier breathing and relieves dry, scratchy throats. Using the Vicks Vaporizer overnight ensures sleep is more restful with gentle, natural steam therapy. You can also have peace of mind in this product, as it’s won the Trusted Brands award for the Most Trusted Vaporizer/Humidifier for 2 years in a row – as voted by the Australian public.

  • Great for those stuffy noses

    For almost 10 years now I have been using a vicks vaporizer and it doesn’t let down. It helps our family during the stuffy noses and just makes us feel human again and get a good night sleep. A must have for your family.

  • saviour during the flu

    This has been my saviour when I have had the flu, running cold, congestion in my chest, and head colds. It is so easy to use. Smells fragrant(due to the vicks), portable, and easy to store. I am super happy with this product. I have used this for 4 years and have never had a problem before giving it away. It is long lasting and value for money.

  • Works wonders.

    I have owned a vicks Vaporizer for a little while now. I purchased mine when my little one was sick and had an extremely blocked nose, which no other products were helping. The first night using it was just proof of how amazing it was. My little one slept so soundly that night and could breathe through his nose. So for every sleep and nap while he was sick with a blocked nose we used it. We always have a better night sleep then what it was like dealing without it.
    Very simple and easy to use, it also has great safety features such as turning off when its finished and has a light on it so you know where it is while it is working its magic.

    Fairly easy to clean and packs away nicely after use.

  • Sleeping babies make this mama happy

    I’m back again as I’ve just uploaded my video. In a nutshell, I highly recommend as it really opens up their nasal passages and not be so congested. A sleeping baby makes me so incredibly happy. As a mum of four, when one gets sick it makes it’s rounds so if it can relieve at least one of my babes then it allows me the hands to tend to my other babes. I will be investing in a second vaporiser!

  • It works wonders

    The vaporiser arrived at the perfect time, my baby girl had the sniffles and it was the perfect aid to open up her airways and help her breathe easier overnight, resulting in a sound sleep. I would highly recommend and have already done so amongst friends and family.

  • Great

    We borrowed my mums as my oldest has asthma and we placed it into his room. He had the best nights sleep he told me the next day. He said he wasn’t having trouble breathing. He told me if we could get one to have in his room every night also. He said he found he wasn’t wheezy after using it and had so much more energy

  • Missing my vaporizer

    I had a Vick’s vaporizer for years and I really enjoyed it. However, when it needed to be replacing I decided to try a diffuser instead and have been regretting my decision ever since. You notice right away when you have your Vicks Vaporizer going in a room. Definitely helps little ones with stuffy noses I would recommend this product to everyone. Its perfect and relaxing for all ages

    This Vick’s vaporiser is amazing for the winter months. It has that nose clearing Vick’s scent to it. Great as a preventative for colds. It keeps the airways nice and clear. It has a very calm and relaxing feel to it. Perfect for little ones, especially when they are unwell during winter.

  • Brilliant!

    We’ve been using this since we received it and I’m loving it. Although it is a little difficult to clean, it’s easy to use, the inhalant works a treat and smells so nice. It also doesn’t get too hot and creates the perfect amount of steam. I feel like it definitely makes kiddos sleep better even when they aren’t particularly sick.

  • Great Vaporizer

    My kids always stuffed up in winter and because they really don’t like the rub and I relied on cold and flu syrups but my Bubba couldn’t even take the medicines but since I got this vaporizer my lwinter blues have changed for good, the vaposteam coming from vaporizer with that soothing eucalyptus and peppermint smell helps relieving cold and clear the passage without my kids even noticing. I am planning to buy it for my mom also.

  • Tricky to insert heating unit

    My first impressions of the Vick’s Steam Vaporiser was that it was actually quite tricky to insert and lock the heating unit. There must have been some miscalculation in the manufacturing process because it felt like the holes did not align properly and it was a struggle to insert it so that you could turn and lock it into place.

    Aside from the above, it seems like a good unit and another review of how it works will follow.

  • Perfect timing for this trial & review

    What better time to review the Vick’s vaporiser than in the middle of winter when the kids have their usual winter sniffles. This vaporiser has been in high demand and shared between my kids bedrooms (we have 4 little ones).
    The comforting smell made for a good nights sleep all round. The kids woke with unblocked noses and were well rested . Thank you for the opportunity to trial the Vick’s vaporiser

  • It does the job

    Though the product does the job and effeactive the issue that I have is the cleaning of it! It’s not super easy to get in all the little knooks and crannies! But the actual vaporizer function works great and for that reason when my children were little it was a great addition to their rooms. Just be cautious as it can void warranties if you use any other products in it.

  • Winter saviour!!!

    My youngest boy is the snottiest kid I’ve ever known. For years we battled through like zombies until my MIL bought us one of these. We’ve never looked back. I found it simple to use and very easy to keep clean. I leave it on his tall boy. I’ve gifted one to both my sister and sister in law. Now they are very happy mums also!! I definitely recommend if your little one suffers through winter like my son.

    I recently bought one of these after reading all of the great reviews. Now I’d like to add to all of the positive reviews as this product has made an amazing difference to my daughter’s quality of sleep. She has been congested recently and since using this she is breathing much easier at night. It’s easy to use and smells amazing!! So glad I invested in one of these very happy!!

  • Amazing product

    Few days so far since we are using it and I am really happy with the performance, it is actually very effective, my husband has mild asthma and both my kids got cold and flu but these last 2 days they are breathing really easy, inhaling the fresh minty an eucalyptus makes the room fresh and warm. It is goodto have a vaporizer as compared to the rub because my kids just run away from that but with vaporizer they don’t even notice and inhale the Vick’s steam while doing their normal everyday activities. Totally working for my family

    My boy always has stuffy nose during winter. Every night he will wake up try to clear his nose and this always disturb his sleep. The day when I received Vicks Vaporizer I used it immediately in the day and night. His nose is clear all the time and that night he didn’t wake up at all. This is a life saving product and I’m so happy I get to review it especially during winter.

    The Vick’s Vaporiser has been super handy this week. We fired it up for the first time and my little man slept soundly through the night. He’s had a head cold but this really did the trick. The only negative I have was having trouble putting the vaporiser back together after filling it with water, but it’s just a matter of practice

    We fired up the Vick’s Vaporiser for the first time last night & my little man slept soundly through the night . He’s been blocked up with a head cold and this product really did the trick.

    This is such a great product! It’s easy to use, it’s sturdy and prevents kids being able to pull it apart, the inhalant smells amazing and we are yet to be sick while owning it but I’m pretty confident to say it’ll make a huge difference after walking into a room after it’d been on a while. The only negative I have it to say it is tricky to clean because it the shape but other than that it’s a great product.

  • I was skeptical but I love it

    I remember when I was a kid, we had a vaporiser and it was hot, I can remember burning myself on it so I was a little skeptical about how I’d like this being around my children but it doesn’t get hot. It gets warm but not hot enough to burn. I really love the smell of the inhalant and I can’t wait to get use of it throughout winter when the kids are sick. No ones sick at the moment and we have it going in one of the bedrooms because it smells divine! I love all the features and it’s super simple to use.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen 🙂

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
