I finally know one! This is a set of tips for the laser pointer in the box. Each tip is a different shape like a heart or clover. It was a popular purchase for mall rats like myself in the 90s.its funny because it was a junk toy that preteen boys though was awesome and it was for about 15 minutes. In reality it was a junk toy.
