Cookie Review Summary
By all accounts, Cookie magazine is a parents magazine, but not for just any parents. "It's geared toward sophisticated, latte-drinking, nanny-employing, Manolo-buying mothers and their young families." Launched in 2005 with the philosophy that "being a good parent and maintaining your sense of style are not mutually exclusive", Cookie is a monthly magazine filled with ideas on childrens cloths health and entertainment, among other things affecting family life. Some reviewers liked it, but the overriding sentiment is "It has its good points, but ultimately, the not-so-subtle celebration of pricey toddler wear and overpriced handbags really isn't my cup of tea." No one questions the quality of the magazine, but most object to it apparently targeting high income families, saying, " I prefer a magazine with practical ideas for busy stay-at-home-moms who try to live within a budget." and " It promotes materialism and demotes family values"

I pitched in the $13 for the first year to be a "charter subscriber" to this "new, hip" magazine. The "free bag" drew me in as well as the claim for "new, upscale information". The bag was the cheapest free magazine gift I ever recieved, a tiny piece of nylon crap. Humorous when the magazine touts such...

I received a free subscription to this magazine through Amazon.com, and I'm certainly glad that I did not spend money on it. The magazine seems more suited to people with a lot of money (many of the ads are for expensive products/stores) and even the articles seem to feature high-end products for you or your kids. Also, there are just too many ads to sort through to find the articles. I prefer a magazine with practical ideas for busy stay-at-home-moms who try to live within a budget.
