• Cigars and trays

• Movie posters such as The Sting and Dick Tracy from your local video store
• Something Special: A week before the event get dressed up in your gangster gear with close friends and take photos of each other. Print the photos and put them temporarily in photo frames or stick them over the wall on the night. Now you're part of your very own mob family!
