In your opinion, what's the best way to give a ring as a gift to your girlfriend without her thinking you're proposing? It's meant for her right ring finger, but I don't want her to get the wrong impression and think I'm moving too fast, or worse think I'm proposing and saying "Yes".
By the way, this is a Christmas gift.

Okay added details: Yes I've told her I love her. We don't live together, but have been dating about 6 months, known each other a year and a half.
Not a promise ring per se, I just wanted to get her something great for Christmas.

This is soooo funny! My husband got me a ring for Christmas one year,before we were married, and when I opened it, he just kept saying ;;"it isn't an engagement ring, it isn't an engagement ring" DUH!!!!!!!!!!
You don't need to emphasize that to her! If it isn't followed with ..."Will you be my wife", she will know it isn't an engagment ring.
How long have you been with her? Have you told her you love her? If she knows that you love her, than just let her know that the ring is a symbol of that love and a promise that you are commited to her.
You could slip it on her right hand while she is sleeping on Christmas Eve. Serve her breakfast in bed, and when she takes her first bite, she will notice it!
Good luck to you!

This suggestion will only work if you both live together or if she lives with someone who you can count on to do it for you. When you're girlfriend falls asleep on Christmas Eve, just slip it on the right finger so that when she wakes up she will know it is from you and that it is not an engagement ring. You should leave a card for her on the nightstand just telling her how much she means to you too.
If you don't live with her, hopefully her roomate or sibling can do it for you.

If it's not an engagement ring, and doesn't look like one, then you shouldn't have a problem. I would include a card with the gift, telling her how you feel about her. Just say you love her, or whatever...if you don't mention marriage, then it won't be a proposal.

My friend got a diamond promise ring from her boyfriend last year. He told her before he gave it to her that he loved her and just wanted to show her that he is committed to the relationship. Just make it clear before that you're not trying to get engaged but you want her to know you really care and that it is a promise ring.

Just say it's a gift! If you guys haven't been together for too long then she will understand. Also tell her that it isn't an engagement ring so she doesn't freak out!

tell her off the bat. this is not an engagement ring but a special gift to someone i care about alot. merry christmas. do not ruin the moment by making a lot of talk about the akwardness of the situation, etc.

wrap it and stick it under the tree just like you would any other gift
if you dont live together then when you go to exchange gifts just hand it to her, when she opens it say something like "I saw it and thought it would look great on you, do you like it"
she will know its not an engagement ring
good luck
