My friends and I used to do the big ceremony after a break up - you bring everything the person ever left at your house (after checking they don't want it ofcourse) then any letters, photoes etc etc - dump it all in a metal bin and set it alight.
This ceremony is accompanied by much drinking, laughter and talking about the guy / girls sexual prowess.
This is then followed by a haircut the next day and shopping trip, then a trip in a new sexy outfit and perfect hair / makeup to return the stuff the SO did want back.
Yes it's petty and childish but it sure as hell made us all feel better.
Your idea sounds like the mature way to handle it though.
