The best gift that Celeborn and Galadriel could have given would have been to quietly warn Aragorn that Boromir was in trouble, then to persuade Boromir to either stay in Lorien or return to Minas Tirith separately from the rest of the Company.

Galadriel knew Boromir was "turning" - she told Gandalf this when he turned up the day after the Company left Lorien. So why didn't she act ? It would have been safer for the Company and better for Minas Tirith if a revitalised Boromir had been able to assist in the defence of Gondor.
