(Cori) :)
This affliction can be delt this in many ways. One, you can simply take the person aside, hold an Abercrombie & Fitch shirt or apparel in their face and tell them in a stern but caring voice, "Bad boy, Bad Ron(or whatever the name of the person might be)...NO, this is bad. I don't want to see anymore of this ever!"
Or there is the subtle approach...
For birthday or anniversary presents, or just presents for no reason, start buying the person clothing or apparel from, say, American Eagle or Old Navy. Then work your way down the economic clothing ladder toward Target and then eventually Goodwill. They'll never know the difference! For the earlier stages of this progression may I suggest you go to the outlet mall in Johnson creek where they have the Gap and other "expensive" clothing stores at lower than the usual type. I do believe they have some of these outlet malls up in the twin cities area also. And of course, you don't have to tell the person where the clothes are from... If they ask, just gently change the subject.
