Have him give her a gumball machine ring - or from a cracker jack box, and at a convenient time, then go ring shopping..
I gave a cubic zirconia ring as the place holder... then we went shopping for the one that she wanted. Since my wife doesn't wear jewelry it was a challenge. I wanted to do the 2 months salary thing.. and it would have been a 3 carat diamond... but she's happiest with her 1 carat which she picked out.
