1) Go on vacation to Thailand.
2) Go visit a reputable jeweler in Bangkok when you fly in, but before you leave for the beaches / mountains.
3) Have a custom made ring made with a pearl / sapphire / emerald / something other than a diamond. (They can make anything if you have a picture of it)
4) Pay about $1,000 for the ring.
5) Go visit a tailor, choose the fabric, get measured, and order custom clothing (for far less than US off the rack prices, at a higher quality, and a perfect fit that ensures you can't get fat because if you do, they don't fit anymore).
6) Pick the ring and clothes up a week later when you come back, spend a few days in Bangkok before flying home.
7) Once you are home, tell all your friends about the great time you had.
I bought my wife's engagement ring, as well as had a lot of clothes made-shirts, winter jackets, sport coats, suit, pants, etc. We both wear our respective items all the time and love them.
I have a tailor and jeweler recommendation if you want.
