And no, we don't mean they're going to steal it.
But there's one condition ... they have to propose to their partner over the phone, in front of a crowd.
Maitland Riverside Plaza and Prouds the Jewellers are giving away an engagement ring worth more than $1000 as part of a Valentine's Day competition.
The winner will be drawn at the shopping centre on Friday afternoon and will then call up their partner to make their surprise proposal.
In addition to the Ring giveaway, the first 100 people to arrive will be given one ticket each, which will be put into a barrel and drawn live for a separate voucher and prize giveaway.
There will also be a live singer/guitarists, as well as a photo opportunity at a Valentine's Day set installed in the plaza.
