If three nouns are the objects of a verb, do you need the definite article with each?

He grabbed the book, the flowers, and the chocolate.

Would the following following sentence ever be grammatically correct?

He grabbed the book, flowers, and chocolate.

Yes. The reason I shall give may be considered subjective by some but I think it is valid.

He grabbed the book, the flowers, and the chocolate.

This for me has a suggestion of choice, e.g.

"He looked around at all the different things he could take. Then , leaving behind the watch, he grabbed the book, the flowers, and the chocolate.

He grabbed the book, flowers, and chocolate.

This for me suggests that the three items are considered as a collection that aren't separable in the context.

"After much consideration, he decided on three presents for Mary, a book, some flowers and some chocolate. It was time to leave so he grabbed the book, flowers, and chocolate, and hurried out of the store."
