Some readers may not remember snail mail, as it may have even been before their time. But long ago people would actually send physical messages to each other. Once sent the sender and/or receiver would patiently wait for the letter to arrive, sometimes for days.
Although this process is a lot more inconvenient, there was a certain intimacy and anticipation that made this experience more exciting. Some of us will never forget the feeling we had as kids when we received our first letter in the mail. It made us feel important. It was something we looked forward to and we deeply cherished.
Hopefully by exploring through snail mailing-inspired products and ideas, one can relive those pleasant nostalgic feelings and memories.
