My ExMil buys both my DDs loads of clothes for Christmas every year. She must spend a fortune. They are always very pretty and a formal, but they often don't get worn very often, if at all. My DDs are also both very tall and she will buy clothes in their actual age rather than they size they need. (they both take two ages above) I'm almost divorced from her son. It's been very hard and unpleasant four years. She hasn't spoken to me since I left him, so I can't ask her to return the unwanted items. I hate the waste of clothing that they refuse to wear. So, which is the least offensive:
Just asking her to steer clear of clothes (could be seen as being difficult and obstructive), giving her a list of toys and books they might like instead (she could just ask the DDs) or giving her a list of clothes they need and would get use from and the sizes. (might look presumptuous)
