I agree. Buying something for the person that is paying you is kind of like just giving your salary back lol.
Kind of like gift giving to your parents when you are still little and on an allowance.

That being said, I try to heed this wise proverb,
"If you give people your hand, they'll grab your whole arm".
Next time, I think just a card will suffice (or no gift at all). As he is the boss, he is the one who should be doing the gifting; his subordinates should not be getting him anything at all (or at least, not feel obligated to).
