Boxing Day Madness

Larry's four children Dave, Daniel, Derrick, and Liz had a very good Christmas. Latisha made a most wonderful Turkey dinner and they all enjoyed their presents.

As a bit of a family tradition, the four children, whom are very well behaved, participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange on Boxing Day (December 26th).

The rules are simple. The children's names get put into a hat and are chosen at random. They can either chose to take a present from the pile or a present from one of their siblings. If they take away a present then the target sibling can then take another present from the pile or from one of their siblings.

There were four gifts in the exchange. A toy dinosaur, a small piece of candy, a bicycle, and a portable gaming console.

Dave went first. He chose the toy dinosaur. Daniel went second. He chose the bicycle. Derrick went third. He chose Daniel's bicycle. Daniel then took Dave's dinosaur. Dave, being very hungry, chose the portable gaming console. Liz decided she didn't want to be mean to her brothers so she took the last remaining present from the pile. 

Which present did Liz receive?
