Jif may be tough to find in France, but Skippy (even the chunky kind) is pretty available. (Though a small jar costs as much as a "super sized" jar does in the US.)

I used to bring back jelly beans - the plain old fruit flavored kind (NOT the jelly bellies) - but I've lost my taste for anything that sweet. I still bring back 4 lb. bags of popcorn (about the same price as a 500 gr. tray here) and books and CDs that aren't readily available in Europe.
Cheers,
Bev
