I'm not sure why you asked for opinions.
We have the same ethnicity and I havent met anyone with the same ethnicity as ours that dont like LV yes including guys. Im not worried so much about if he would like it. Im concern more about if he thinks its too much or to make him feel obligated to get me something and I dont want hom to feel that way.

Well then do it, because your mind is made up and you're here seeking validation not advice. Else you wouldn't be agreeing with those saying go for it and rebutting those saying it's too much.

As a guy, I say it's too much. People can say until they are blue in the face that gift reciprocity is not expected but deep down it usually is to some degree. If he knows what you spent he will either feel bad for not spending at the same level or feel inadequate if it's out of his budget.

If he hasn't replaced his worn out cheapie wallet then it's probably because he views it only in terms of functionality not style. A high dollar wallet will mean nothing to him.

Money is nothing if people treat you well. I like giving gifts and I give expensive gifts to people I care about and treats me really well. I like to share what I have. I don't want to be the only one who enjoys the good things in life. I want the people I care about to experience it too. I dont mind spending money on them.

I bought tickets for my friends to see a show and I bought an extra one for him just incase he wanted to go and he was appreciative. He asked me if theres a show I wanted to see and he would take me. I said I wanted to see this show with him. He said he would love to go with me.
I can afford better than an lv wallet but still wouldn't carry one. I think they are gauche and for tacky status seekers. If he wears a lot of named merchandise go ahead, but if not, you are making a big mistake.

If someone bought me that it would certainly mean they didn't know me at all. /lol
See?
Because you are one of those tit-for-tat people.
Someone could spend 500 bucks and it would bring them immense pleasure in just doing something nice.
Not because they expect something or are trying to buy something, etc.
500 bucks also isn't a lot of money for some people.

.
THIS is the most important question.

The amount spent on a gift is nowhere near as important as the thought put into it.

You can buy him a nice leather wallet for $30.00, IMO, giving him a LV is just a show off move on your part.

Not a tit-for-that person by any means but $500+ gifting would be totally outside my comfortable zone. Anyone who knows me would tell you that. I know for most, hell I'm a millennial, ALL of my friends $500 would be a major hit for them and I would not accept that gift at all.
