AT-HOME PROPOSALS

• Is your sweetheart a deep sleeper? Slip the ring on his or her finger while they're dozing and wake them with champagne and strawberries.


• Bring her a bouquet of her favorite flowers and tie the ring around the stem of one of the flowers with ribbon.


• Spell out your proposal with refrigerator magnets.


• Buy her the pet she has always wanted (kitten, puppy, bunny) and loosely tie the ring around its neck.
