Nothing, bosses don’t want your gifts. You aren’t buddies and they are probably well paid. Give a card.

Nothing . He is your boss.

You don’t show up at anyone’s party empty handed. I’m a boss and I disagree with you. I would be very touched if a staff member got me something with any type of thought to the gift. My staff are important to me and I would hope they felt the same way. It’s attitudes like yours that makes for a crappy employee/boss relationship. Respect goes both ways. Just my two cents.
