DescriptionHeavy cardboard printed in red and yellow. In the red band at top are the words "Teen Top" with a picture of a young man and woman to the left. Below and to the right is a drawing of a multi-sided top with a pointed tip and a nipple-shaped handle. Around the spinning top are what can be found on its sides: "I Kiss You", "Kiss Me Twice", "Kiss Me Once", "Hug me Tight" "My Treat" and "Your Treat". A large red heart dominates the card, and in the heart are punched holes to hold the handle of the top. Below the heart on the left are the words "Fun and Laughs . . ." and on the right "For Your Party." Another rectangle of cardboard is folded in half and can be moved to create a stand for the card.
The space for a price is also shaped like a heart.
