Summarize this article:

If you want to use your engagement ring box when proposing, you can easily hide it in clothing like cargo pants and hooded sweatshirts. Simply slip the box into your pocket, and check on it periodically to make sure it stays in place. Then, pull out the box when the time is right. Keep tabs on your ring box so it does not fall out of your pocket. Touch your pocket or slip your hand inside every so often to ensure it is still in place. You don't want to lose it! You can purchase specialty socks designed to stash the ring box safely until it's time to propose. Order these online 1-3 weeks before your proposal so they arrive on time. Then, place your box inside the pocket before your proposal, and press it down into the sock as deep as you can. When you are ready to propose, get down on 1 knee and slip your box out of the pocket. Oftentimes, these come with a discreet, slim-profile ring box. The prop you use will depend on what kind of proposal you want. For instance, if you are hiking and want to propose in the woods, place your box inside your backpack. Think about what props work best for your your proposal, and place the ring inside before you go! Remember exactly where you put the ring, and place it in a secure prop only you will handle. You can also wrap the box in a blanket or place it inside a box of granola bars. If you are proposing at the beach, you can stash the ring box inside your beach bag or wrap it up inside of a towel. This is easy to pull off with a little bit of planning. Recruit an accomplice to carry the ring, and mention your proposal idea and timing. Come up with a discrete signal, like a hand gesture or head movement, so your accomplice is ready when the time is right. Give them the ring ahead of time, get into place, and make the signal! Your partner will not expect the ring to be in someone else's hands. For example, maybe you want to propose in the city where had your first date. Arrange to go out to lunch or dinner with a few others, and give the ring to a trusted person before you leave for the meal. Then, make your signal when you want to propose, and they can easily pass you the ring box when your partner is not looking. This is a great option if you and your partner live together. If you are worried that you cannot easily pull out the ring box and make a seamless proposal, then simply get rid of the box and hide the ring somewhere else. Sometimes the best proposals don't involve the ring box at all. However, handle your ring with care so you don't lose it. It's much harder to lose a box than a ring. You can stash it in your pocket, wallet, or small carrying pouch instead. This is a good idea if you've tried to stash the ring box on your person but it is still visible.

Summary:
Put the box inside of a pocket to conceal it on your body. Use specialty socks to hide the ring box if you want a creative option. Conceal the ring box inside of a prop to easily place it out of sight. Ask a friend or family member to carry the ring if proposing in public. Hide the ring by itself if you can't confidently conceal the box.
