They could have fitted the whole ring / tape / mouse assembly into a small paper bag Aragorn could have kept it in his jacket and fed it little bits of lembas on the way how lovely x

I mean that's the reason Hobbits in general can withstand the Ring longer than any other race of Middle Earth. They just want a quiet life without any fuss and that's pretty much the opposite of what the Ring can promise them.

Ring: I can make you rich!

Hobbit: Eh, than my cousins will pester me all day.

Ring: I can make you strong!

Hobbit: What for? I have an ox for that.

Ring: I can make you king of all!

Hobbit: That's even worse than rich!

Ring: Exasperated sigh
