Hallmark Magazine Review Summary

Hallmark Magazine is a fairly new publication from, of all companies, Hallmark!. Hallmark targets the female demographic and is chock full of articles and ads aiming to make women feel better about themselves. It "always has great craft ideas - that don't cost a fortune to make, good recipes and inspiring stories" and " is geared towards women talking about the true substance in a woman’s daily life" Littered throughout the magazine are little bits of wisdom and inspirational quotes. "It’s like getting a giant bag of fortune cookies, minus the cookies of course." Not everyone was enthralled by the contents, "Besides the extreme amounts of MUSH, there are way too many ads", but, as a rule, our reviewers recommend Hallmark Magazine

I am a subscriber of the Hallmark Magazine and have been for about one year. Some of the articles really make me realize that I have been very lucky in my life. This is the only women's magazine that I regularly read and its nice when there is a surprise coupon in the magazine.

When my wife said that she received a free subscription to Hallmark Magazine, I was thinking to myself, “Hallmark has a magazine?” I figured it would be a magazine about its latest greeting cards (isn't that typical male thinking?). Touted as “The Magazine That Celebrates Your Life”, I was curious... review »

Hallmark Magazine

What is it?
Hallmark
is a magazine from the Hallmark store!  You can buy it in the store or subsribe to a monthly subscription to be delivered to your house.  It contains articles on holidays, traditions, entertaining and recipes.  Super mushy stuff!

My Viewpoint!
I don't subscribe to Hallmark magazine and I'm glad that I don't.  My friend has a subscription and "passes on" her magazines when she's done reading them.  I have read at least a half dozen or more of Hallmark Magazine and I have to say, it's BORING!  I like mushy articles just as much as the next Woman but Hallmark...

Are you the type who likes to receive greeting cards? I know some people who get all teary- eyed over the mere mention of a greeting card and they rip open those colorful envelopes with abandon, examining each word and reflecting on the personal message. If you're the type who acts this way when you get a birthday or holiday card, then you might like Hallmark Magazine, a publication about feeling good.

Magazine Commentary:

Hallmark is a name synonymous with greeting cards and when I first heard there was going to be a new Hallmark Magazine, I was curious exactly what the content would be. It...

I'm a former magazine junkie and have had to limit myself to only a few subscriptions in the past year or so.  Surprisingly, one of my favorite magazines is Hallmark Magazine.  Why, you may ask?  Let me count the ways.

Content:  Each issue has articles on several topics including beauty, book recommendations, collections, cooking, crafts, entertaining, inspirational stories, and more.  If you don't find an article that interests you right away, keep looking.  There is something for everyone in each issue of Hallmark Magazine.  

Easy to Read:  Many articles in Hallmark Magazine are three...

I absolutely love this magazine! I recieved a one year free subscription and have been enjoying each and every issue. When I recieved the first issue, I thought "Oh, this is probably not going to be something for me". I was so wrong. This magazine always has great craft ideas - that don't cost a fortune to make, good recipes and inspiring stories. I would recommend it to anyone!

This magazine was given to me as a gift subscription.  I enjoy the articles, ideas & pictures very much.  I would like to see more coupons/store specials in the magazine for Hallmark.  There is not alot of advertising for Hallmark in the magazine which some people would like but I love to see what's new without visiting the store.  Overall a good magazine but a bit expensive if purchased at full price.

I was excited when I heard Hallmark was coming out with a magazine so much so that I sent for a sample issue and then subscribed. I am a very busy person and I find this magazine to be easy reading but filled with fun and informational articles, great ideas and a resource for buying neat gadgets and other things. I look forward to getting each issue.

So, I like Hallmark cards... it would only seem then that I'd like Hallmark Magazine, right?  So, I subscribed to the magazine once I heard it was coming out.  I like beautiful artwork, I appreciate kind and warm sentiments.  Those are some of the things that have always drawn me to Hallmark's Cards.  I could do without the scented candles and the little "chachkas".  So, the first issue was fine.  Even interesting.  I really enjoyed a 2-page spread on what people like you and I find that we can't live without that help us in our "day to day " beauty regimens.  Reading what other women had...

I began receiving this magazine as a gift.  Since then I've renewed my subscription and have given 3 of my friends a subscription as well.  There are good articles and a lot of ideas for your home and craft ideas too.  I recommend getting a yearly subcription as you'll save much money than if you purchased monthly.

The Hallmark magazine is beautiful edited and contains everything I suppose certain women want to see in a magazine.  I enjoyed my subscription very much, but I let it lapse.  Why?  Because Hallmark magazine almost looks like every other really good home magazine.  You will find gorgeous rooms in lovely homes, spacious gardens; kitchens to die for, but I would like to have seen more features on Hallmark collectibles or readers' memories of ornaments or cards. 

All in all, the magazine is above averagem readable and pretty to look at.  It's just not unique.

Hallmark is a beautiful magazine. It is filled with great decorating, gift, craft ideas. I was hoping to have occasional coupons for cards, etc. in it, but have not seen any to date. This magazine is a great, feel good read. Anyone that loves to roam around the Hallmark store will love this magazine.

I really enjoy reading this magazine.  The articles are informative but are relatively short and to the point.  The oversize format is a nice change from the standard magazine.  You just want to sit down with a cup of tea and read it from cover to cover in one sitting.
