Should I do this for my parents?

Question

Ok so my parents have been married 25 years. They were both very poor when they got married so they couldnt afford rings and have never bought wedding rings. I really want to buy my parents wedding rings for christmas. But not like anything REALLY expensive. I was looking at a clearance rack of jewelry at jcpenney and I found some good looking rings that I think they would both wear. (I didnt buy them I was just getting ideas, the rings were only $20 each) How do I pull this off without my parents knowing? How do I measure there ring finger?

thanks!

I know this sounds weird, but peoples' shoe size are usually the same as their ring size.  (not always, please remember that) It might be a place to start.  Or, if you can tell them you have a school project to measure ring fingers and do both right and left hands on both your parents.  They probably wouldn't get suspicious.  I think it's very sweet of you.
