magician, send me any ideas you may have. I could definitely use them.

a_MAY_zing_1, damn that a great idea. if I only had a hairy back. But seriously, the TV idea is good except that 10 years down the road, I don't want to tell people I proposed at Best Buy. Just doesn't sound romantic when you put it that way.

Best thing to do is this...it will take a bit of work and planning but here goes...send her on a treasure hunt. When she gets home there is a note for her telling her to go to Victoria's Secret and pick up a package that is waiting for her. She gets there and finds something sexy that you picked out for her with a note telling her to then go to XYZ store and pick up another package where you have bought her a sexy little dress to wear over her sexy new eye candy and with it another note. This one tells her to go to XYZ winery/bar to pick up yet another gift which will be a bottle of chamagne and a last note telling her to get home as soon as possible where you will be, all suited up. Her excitement and anticipation will be running high as you lead her over to the sofa (candlelight and music better be playing in the background and fresh roses on the table) and you drop to bended knee, whip out the ring and propose. Whereupon, when she says YES YES YES, she will have something sexy to wear for you when you go out to dinner to celebrate and pretty much a gaurantee of some serious 'dessert' when you get home! 
This will also give her a beautiiful memory to cherish as well as something to gush/brag about when she tells everyone how you proposed!
Good Luck!!

Ummm, 25 years ago, I was only 4 and a half! 
Actually this was the fantasy proposal that I've yet to receive and it is a bit self-serving but if it ever actually happened, I would more than make up for that after we got home and got down to "dessert" (and for quite possibly the rest of the week and then every time thereafter he does something sweet that reminds me of what he did!! )
As for you actually doing that...hmmm...where are you, now that I am legal?? The world needs more guys like you darlin!
edit:
ok, re-read what you said and I actually read it wrong the first time...thought you were making a joke as to where I was when you did that because I'd be the appreciative kind...yadda yadda yadda...ok, I am going to shut up now before I put my foot in any farther

Raptor, et al:
I sent Rob (?) an e-mail about how to magically produce an engagement ring.
How it looks: He brings out an empty matchbox, pulls out the drawer, and hands them to her to check. While she's doing that, he brings out an o-ring or rubberband or some other small annular object. He takes back the box puts the o-ring (or whatever) into the drawer, slides the drawer into the box, and holds the box on his outstretched hand. He pulls a pencil (better still, a cheap magic wand) out of his pocket and waves it over the matchbox. Then he hands the matchbox to her and tells her to open it. Inside the box is an engagement ring, and nothing else.
How it works: Really, really well.
(You didn't honestly expect me to tell you, did you?

Rob, congrats! You two are going to be fabulously happy together!
As for what to do, only you know what makes her eyes smile, and to use anyone else's idea might not be right for you! Private is definitely the way to go though...
When my ex proposed, he took me out on a trail in a cypress forest by the beach where we had gone hiking before and enjoyed some especially peaceful and meaningful afternoons together. Since he had always said he wouldn't get married again until he had attained some pretty specific, lofty goals, you couldn't have paid me to look any more shocked when he dropped on one knee (then the other knee too, because he was shaking so hard that he couldn't balance on only one!) and proposed. He didn't even have the ring out of his pocket yet, just both of my hands in his, and when I accepted, he asked me, "don't you even want to see the ring first?" He had had my ring custom made, having taken some unset diamonds and a drawing he designed of what he wanted my ring to look like.
My point is this: make it something special (and private... you can do the public thing when it's her birthday!) that will make her eyes light up every time she thinks about it! You'll only get one chance to get this right! My ex and I didn't make it in the end, which makes recalling the beginning kind of bittersweet, but it's still a very special memory to me.
