Your ex can't get reimbursed for your clothes any more than you can for his or her clothes. As for gifts, they are exactly that and are not included either.

He can claim many things the same as you can. However, if he gave you a $20,000 mink coat as a gift, and paid for it with community money, then you own 1/2 of it because you own 1/2 of the community, and you own the other 1/2 because he gave you his interest when he gifted it to you. Makes gift giving seem terribly materialistic, but since he wants it that way, he needs to know that all gifts given to you by anyone, including HIM, are yours 100%.
