SMACK!

Some variations on the theme of kissing:
un baiser (bay - zay) = a kiss - pretty formal

une bise (beez) = well... pretty much the same, but less passionate, for example this is what we use for friends who kiss each other hello:
on se fait la bise ? = should we kiss each other on the cheek ? (yes, I do realize how ridiculous this may sound...)

un bisou (bee - zoo) = you guessed it... a kiss. This is baby talk, can be used instead of bise in most cases:
Gros bisous! = Kisses! - nice way to end a letter to someone close

un bécot (bay - ko) = yes! a kiss! This one is more familiar and not as widely used
