Never, under any circumstances, buy gifts for the boss. It's bad etiquette and its bad management. Gift giving is lateral and down, never up.

You're leaving out a key concept which is obligation. You're never obligated to give e a boss a gift and a good manager won't expect one even if they give them. There's no etiquette that says you can't. I've certainly never seen a manager, good or bad, refuse a gift.
