Gifts of Celeborn - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

While reading through Fairwell to Lothlorien it occured to me that the gifts given to Boromir , the 2 younger hobbits, and Legolas were not defined with any specific virtues. I looked through the Treason of Isengard and found that those gifts were written once and left unchanged.
My question to anyone who may know or guess, what were the virtues of the Gold and Silver belts?
I would guess that the Bow and Arrows given Legolas would have at least the virtue of distance and seeking evil, (since Legolas was apparently able to shoot the steed from under the Wringwraith in the dark).
(On a side note, can anyone imagine Gimli being Elfstone?)
