This year I was fortunate enough to get good support from my superior. I am mulling an idea to give a gift (most likely a wine bottle) as a Christmas present to the boss.
Is it a norm to give a present to your boss? Will it be looked as chaplusi?
Even if it does .. why bother ? You won't get many occassions like this ... Utilize it .

Thanks Fido for the prompt response.
FIDO !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!! Thats called tipping AND you are advocating for it ?? !! !! !! btw Welcome to the fraternity , Brother !!
as Fido said, utilize the ocasion.
I think this is the positive about chrismas gift exchange, you can give to your boss, it will not look like a chaplusi and ofcourse she/he will remember it. and it helps for sure ! If you want to cover on the chaplusi factor and if you can afford it and if there not many in office next to you, give to all !
buss do not give that 11 $ wali wine, pack something good.

As per my experience at 6-7 different workplaces in Canada, I have observed the gifts normally flow up to down at workplace and not vice versa. I have been told that gifting your boss in North America is considered putting your boss in a difficult position of returning you the favor at work, and favoring you over your colleagues.
But there are always exceptions..

Unlike you, I ACCEPT the word tipping is wrong (and dangerous) in Boss's context.
But you surprised us by advocating the activity against your own principles of Not giving appreciation tokens to people over and above their regular salaries!
