She just wants a ring. I think she'd be happy with something from the bubblegum machine.

He just wants to put a ring on her finger. He wants it to be a smidgen nicer than something from a bubblegum machine

I'm having fun looking at jewelry for him. I bought myself a couple of baubles too
Okay! He can give her that ring on a chain sometime, too!
