There is a gypsy Lenormand: http://www.tarotchest.co.uk/product.asp?item=8773

That and Gypsy Witch (US Games) comes to mind, The Buckland Romani is OPP and hard to find, it a nice deck though (so good luck if you decide on that one) but it is a 78 card traditional Tarot deck - the card's art are Romani/Gypsy themed

---the Gypsy Witch deck is more of a Cartomany or Lemonard-type deck, has the 52 cards with the man and woman signifigator...a bit different than the tarot

It depends what you are looking for, deckwise.....the link to Gypsy Witch is below

Gypsy Fortunes: "Use the Magic of Romany Cards to Foretell the Future" by Lady Lorelei

Not sure if this deck is still in print - Amazon's starting price for new is around $80....but it seems to be very available used. I got mind at a swap site, in new condition - it's pretty cool. The deck and book come in a nice little fold open sort of box, with a well for the cards and the book attached on the right. I love the book - very colorful and good, clear information about each card. 36 cards, and the backs of them are an adorable pattern of little gypsy wagons. This deck seems to be very beginner friendly. The below thread from here at AT has pictures and other links if you want to know more.

FYI: Galde Press has released a 2nd edition of Buckland Romani
$35 for the set of cards and book:

Have fun and good luck with finding the best choice for you!

I'll second the Buckland Romani Tarot, and the Glade publication is just fine.

The Buckland Romani is a fabulous reading deck because it shows people actually doing things (performing, picnicking, making deals) rather than standing around looking symbolic. It was one of the early decks to take this approach and years ago when there weren't as many decks available it was known as a great reading deck. There is a different season for each suit.

There's also the Tarot Tzigane (Grimaud) which is an excellent - if quite difficult - deck based on gypsy history and its Indian roots. It is a very strange deck with a very mysterious feel.

I've never quite mastered it but there is something quite compelling about the imagery and colours and gold touches
