pamperings
Acts of spoiling
Pamperings refers to instances or acts of indulgent treatment—giving someone luxurious care or attention beyond what's necessary.
The word is rarely used; pampering as a mass noun handles most contexts: a day of pampering at the spa.
The plural suggests distinct episodes: the pamperings she received during her pregnancy.
