Is it possible for you to change your route in order to give the
Canadian side gifts first? I don't know if this helps. I live in the
US. When I travel I can bring back up to $500.00 without declaring the
items or paying any tax on them. Maybe if you check the Canadian
equivalent of http://travel.state.gov you can find a FAQ.
