Another ex question

Drop it off at his friend doorstep with a note. "Sorry that you have to be in the middle but I would appreciate it if you give this back to x "

Be honest with yourself. Which is going to make you feel worse: the guilt from just giving his stuff away or the aggravation of trying to find some friend of his to either take his stuff or contact him about it? Once you figure it out go with whatever works best for YOU.

if i was his friend, even if i was one of his better friends, i would be annoyed at having to store his stuff. Donate it. It will all be out of style and maybe even the wrong size when he needs it again.
if it makes you feel better, keep a receipt and when he comes back in 5 years wanting it, you can hand him the receipt for his taxes.

The sooner you get rid of it, the sooner you will really move on. These reminders of him keep popping up. You have control over that. Decide how you are going to do it, and then just do it. If its not financially feasible to send it to him, just get rid of it. It's only stuff.

Indecision is fine. We're all different, and what works for you is what will make you feel best. He has no obvious claim to getting it back. I would just say that hanging on to it is the only bad choice.
