Traveling by car to Canada for Xmas. You think I will have issues brining over presents..all below $40 US?

Should I bring all of the receipts..I just don't want a prolonged wait at the border.

I think having the receipts would help, but I really wouldn't wrap them in case the border inspectors want to examine what you have. Just bring wrapping paper or gift bags with you and save yourself what could be some valuable time.

When Canadians go shopping in the US and return to Canada the same day, they will usually discard the bags, receipts and plastic covering of the new products they bought so when they get to the border it will seem like they didn't just purchase them in the US. That way, they don't have to pay the tax.

I'm guessing you don't want to do that because they are gifts, so I would advise to not don't wrap the presents until you get to Canada. Bring the receipts just in case they are really strict but you don't have to tell them you have the gifts. If it's all under $40, it shouldn't be an issue.

Never had a problem or needed receipts. Just explained what they were and that was fine.
