I would not do the one knee thing because it does come across as a proposal, but i think if you're gonna buy something then i think a bracelet with her name engraved on it might be a good idea. Plus i like your idea of taking her to the place you two first kissed, that's something she will always remember so I'd say yes, you do that. I like your style though so you will definitely go a long way when it comes to romance.
Anyway, good luck and happy birthday by the way.

Oh arent you lovely! So nice to see some young romantics.
But just please dont get down on one knee. Foolish. Your not getting married. Get her a knecklace is my idea.

 be careful with rings.. what if you get the wrong size? maybe you should go with a bracelet or a necklace unless you are sure of the size. and go for simple, pretty jewellry, not too over the top. she'll love it.

If you get on one knee and give her a ring she is going to think it's a proposal. There is no getting away from it.
A little ring is fine as a gift, it'll be something she can wear to show she is yours. I wouldn't put it on her engagement finger though, so put it on her RIGHT hand, and not her left.
Also, the place is really romantic, that's great, keep that, but I wouldn't get down on one knee, just sit with her and hold her hand and look into her eyes. That would be amazing enough for any girl.
Good Luck!! xx

 I don't think it's the worst idea out there, but the symbolism behind a ring as a gift is pretty hard to shake off.
The ring's shape itself is very symbolic; It's a circle that never ends, it just continues. In some ways, the eternity symbol, or even like the one for infinity.
Also, getting down on one knee is a pretty heavy load. I would honestly just suggest that you get her the ring (or any other jewelry if you so decide) and just give it to her when you two are alone. I wouldn't do the whole "down on one knee" thing. I think that's just a bit much.
Also, just because you know you aren't proposing, doesn't mean she will be on the same page. Make sure she doesn't read into everything too much. It's good you feel committed to her, but make sure you keep communication open about how you see this relationship.
