Rahul Mahtani & Yofred Moik may be on the verge of saving snail mail with their [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/email-draft) mail envelopes concept. Mailing a letter may just be fun again.

Google Mail envelopes is an exciting concept. In a perfect world you would be able to [send an email](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superhuman-20), or mail it out right from Gmail. The envelope it would be contained in would have a printed [Google Map](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacethemed-postal-stamp) on it showing the letter's stops along the way. Fun stuff. I miss writing letters to relatives who don't care enough to write me back. Maybe Google Mail envelopes could change all that.
