I find the heat & humidity a bit much in the Kuta area in October. It's cooler in Ubud. I'd spend 3 or 4 days in the Kuta area sussing out the shopping, 3 or 4 days in Ubud, maybe a day or 2 elsewhere then back to Kuta to shop before heading home. You don't want to be carting your shopping around with you. Besides, sometimes things available in Ubud aren't in the Kuta shops & vice versa. I think a week in Ubud might be a bit long.
