depending if you work or not you could ask around at work for:-
bra drive, new or near new bras, always appreciated by the massage ladies on the beach.
pj's drive, a variety of sizes of pj's for an orphanage.
puzzles/games, a variety of puzzles, cards and games.
sports equipment drive, deflated balls and pump, badminton, tennis balls etc..
2nd hand clothes for teenagers, warmer clothes/jackets for village/mountain residents.
medicinal drive...bandages, bandaids, medicine cups, nit combs etc.
Makeup....lipsticks and nail polishes especially good brands, manicure items, although used prolifically over in Bali are still cosited (?) if from Australia.
Even though you've got all that kilo space be mindful of the fact that most things purchased here can be purchased in Bali for a lot lot less....so I'm saying don't pay a heap of money here to take stuff there to donate, you would be better taking money. If you can get donations from friends and family, workplaces etc. then go for it. Remember too that the Balinese are very adaptful and can cut down a dress and make 2 outfits for kids.
