Part 2...and a riddle!

My earlier sessh was cut short due to a "chicken de-light" from Mr. Greeks, but I assure you, my time away was not filled with joyous laughter and ranch dressing. My closest companion informed me that she "DHL'ed" me a gift which I am to recieve after this fin de semana. (sidenote: I never believed fed-ex would relinquish its title as the "in" package carrier, is this really happening, Blog??!?) In apropos to the present, she would not tell me what to expect, but I managed to wrest a few ominous hints. These hints have thrown me for a loop, so I have come to you for help.
1. The package is large, but not heavy
2. The item is soft, but you would not want to cuddle with it (yeah, I said it)
3. The item contains the letters i,e,t,r
4. It is something you may find in any room of the house, but it would be weird if it were taken out of its place

My initial guesses:
1. Slippers
2. Bathrobe
3. Beach ball, possibly already inflated.

I'll keep you abreast of any new information or postulations. Any thoughts?!?
