Bridesmaid Welcome Bags/Gifts

I have five bridesmaids, and I am planning on getting a tote bag for each. It's going to be a fall wedding, and I'm putting the following in each bag: 
- a cute scarf
- scented hand lotion
- some gourmet hot chocolate 
- a cute travel mug
- warm, lotion infused socks (like the kind from Bath & Body Works)
- chocolate covered pretzels from a local place

Does this sound like enough? Also what are some other suggestions as to what to put in the bag?

    I don't know that I would be crazy about any of those things.   Are you bridesmaids all the exact same person?  If not, I'd get them all something different to suit their tastes.

    What exactly is a bridesmaids welcome bag? Do you mean gift? If the latter, that sounds fine to me. I'm not one of those people who feels every member of the wedding party requires a different, super-personalized gift though. Many do feel that way.

    Are these separate gifts or are these your only gifts to your bridesmaids because if so I think you need to stop and think about them. How much effort are they putting into helping you with this wedding? Outside of your wedding how important are they to you? What kind of things about them make them who they are? Do they have any hobbies? Are they important to you? If I was a bridesmaid and I was going with you to try on dresses, pick out naughty panties for the honeymoon, help give my opinion about the napkin colors and then I received something that was the same that everyone else got. I would be greatful but I think I would feel less important. Its ok to give them all a bag with some of the same items. But they should feel like you took the time out to appreciate all their work being supportive by your side. Remember we pick them because they are the most imporant people to us.    
          My idea keeping to your plan is take them to bath and body works store let them go wild. Don't let them know your keeping tract of their favorites that they pick up. Then give them a bag with the scarf, scented lotion that they individually like, hot chocolate or coffee which ever is their choosing, a travel mug that has their name or their position in your party or both. I would nix the socks and give them each a different treat to keep their mouth happy that they each like individually. Make it more personal. Show them that they are important because the small things are big to our maids.
