Party bags 5yo party

I know there's lots of different views on party bags but it's my DCs first proper party and they really want party bags with a few little things so books/sweet cones wont be what he wants (despite me thinking they're great options!) Do you think this looks ok for party bags for a 5th birthday party? Too much/too little or anything you'd get rid of or add?

Pack of stickers
Fidget toy/pop it type keyring
Mini bubbles
Snapband
Glider
Scented pencil
Animal themed stamp
2 or 3 chocolate coins
Some cake!

I would pick 3 or 4 plus cake. Realistically it'll all end up in the bin within days.

That's fine. Personally I'd drop the fidget toy as my daughter never plays with them and they annoy me! You have enough without them.

Sounds great! My 5 year old DD absolutely loves a party bag, and the joy is pulling out lots of different small things. I think you've got a good mix.

Sounds perfect, there's nothing quite like a goody bag sometimes.

I used to put in stuff that might last or be eaten. (Pens and pencils, crayons) Chocolate bar, sweets, cake.
Some people did books from a multi pack.
A colouring book and crayons might work.
Mine liked party bags with a few bits in best.
