I've been stockpiling 'do we need this items', and put them out on the lounge table for the rest of the family to glance over, and claim anything back that isn't actually ready to leave the house -- this worked really well, with much less stress for number of items gone, and thus many more items than we usually get through. Two of the selected items were claimed, both very small toys with sentimental value. 

Thus, a dozen books, a soft toy, near a dozen toy cars, and some assorted other toys, all in the pile to go.

And because middlest got in serious trouble about the state of their bedroom and wardrobe (with threats of 'no, you can't have your laptop back until we can see your floor), we also have several outgrown dance costumes ready to go to new homes! Now to find a family with the right age group kids who might appreciate dress ups.
