There's some relation in that they both act on fields, but the things that affect those fields are very different (higgs bosons and electrons respectively) and the relationship between all that for an 'unified theory' is a topic of much research. IANAP though (not a physicist)

Are higgs bosons supposed to be gravitons? I think you're confused about how some particles aquire some of their mass, and how all mass behaves.
