Aaaahhhhh-ha. And there it is. This is what I assumed when I read the first post. Your friend is deluding herself that she is making the "big statement", thinking it will "scare" him and finally get him "seeing straight." And in return, she expects the "grand gesture" from him... she probably pictures him crawling back, 2 dozen roses in hand, the box of "stuff" (including jewelry) pathetically tucked under his arm, tears streaming down his face as he confesses the epiphany he's finally had and that he just filed the divorce paperwork...
It's not going to happen. He will take all of the stuff back, either re-gift it to his wife (or next girlfriend) or stash it away for a similar future use. She won't see it again. Her train's already wrecked, you unfortunately just need to stand back and wait until she smells the smoldering remains. I once tried to 'save' a friend of mine like this, we're no longer friends, and she's still single and miserable but making it everyone else's problem.
