There is now an Indonesian version of the American National Geographic magazine which, I'm sure you'll agree, is one of the great magazines of the world. You can take out subscriptions at bookshops in Bali for the Director ('Pimpinan') and after he and his family have finished with it they can pass it on to the kids and start a reference collection in the school. Its a gift that keeps on giving.
As a bonus you could also take out an English langiuage edition from home so they have the two language versions to compare. The learning opportunities are great, not only in language but also in culture and world views. There was a recent piece on the worlds mangrove forests which featured Bali a bit and caused quite a stir I hear.
For general gifts see the link below.
Have a great trip.
