"Barcode Hero is reinventing the holiday wish list for children with a proclivity for mobile shopping and modern conveniences. \nThe startup, which focuses on product discovery through barcode scanning, is releasing an update to its iPhone app that lets kids create mobile wish lists they can send straight to the big guy at the North Pole.\nThe feel-good Holiday Wish List update includes themed fare and encourages kids to create a wish list or two by scanning product barcodes in stores or browsing products via the app. Once the list is complete, children can ship the list \u2014 complete with product photos \u2014 off to \"Santa.\" Barcode Hero will deliver a copy via e-mail to parents or guardians who can also share it with their helper \"elves.\"\nThe wish list addition is cleverly designed with children in mind. Kids can personalize their lists with a digital letter, tell Santa whether they've been naughty or nice, and capture and attach a photo to show just how deserving (and adorably cute) they are this year. \n\u201CInstead of sitting down in the living room with the children to write a letter to Santa on pencil and paper, Barcode Hero allows parents to make wish lists a modern, family-focused holiday activity, complete with photos,\u201D says co-founder Blake Scholl. \u201CWe\u2019re sure Santa will appreciate the help!\u201D\nThe Holiday Wish List update might be more fun than function, but it's the kind of thing that gives you the warm-and-fuzzies this time of year. \n\n\n\n\nHoliday Wish List\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1-start-screen\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2-create-a-wishlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3-add-to-wishlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4-marcis-wishlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5-sending-to-santa\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6-santa-received-your-wishlist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7-wishlists-for-everyone\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Mukumbura"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
