Just a note - mortality was actually called the Gift of Eru.
Had the ships carrying the Fellowship sailed to Valinor, it seems likely that Sam would be interested in seeing Lorien, Frodo/Biblo might've enjoyed the company of the Vanyar and their songs/crafts, and Gimli might spend time in the mountains of Valinor, make occasional visits to Legolas (who might dwell with his kindred in Alqualondë), and get acquainted with his somewhat-creator, Aulë.
