The Upgrade to Premium Gift is a tool item. It is represented as a fictionalized, worn-out retail box copy of Team Fortress 2, featuring the Soldier's portrait and a peeling barcode sticker.
When used, it grants the user a premium account, giving them perks such as a 300 slot backpack, access to all crafting recipes, the ability to trade their items to other players, and use text and voice chat (in Valve official servers). Gifting this item to another player gives the sender the Professor Speks.

Trivia
- Originally, the Upgrade to Premium Gift used a similar backpack icon as the Backpack Expander, but was tied with a red ribbon instead of leather straps and lacked the Heavy Duty Rag, Description Tag, and Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys.
- The barcode sticker in the backpack icon lacks several common identifiable codes around it:
- There is a very small bit of text under the barcode that reads *MAGGOTS*; however, you cannot read this normally due to the small size.[1]
- The style of the barcode most resembles the Code 128 symbology, commonly used in packaging for consumer goods. However, the barcode's character set is overly simple for the symbology, and prints into gibberish.
