she didn't ask for it and his best friend completely spoiled her and both her a lot of stuff and very thoughtful gifts which makes her feel that someone listens to her. he was very jealous too when he saw her face, but he's a moron lol.

Give him a big kiss, say thank you, and move on.
A man who knows just what to give his gf is a man who read the book: "What Gifts Do Women Really Want" LOL., the book is fictional, and sorry guys, bless your hearts, but most of you do not have a clue about gift giving, especially for a girlfriend. Don't worry, most of us women think this is endearing, and have learned to creatively drop hints of what we want, so that you think it was all your idea "Cause we love you. Don't mean to be demeaning, it is just what I do, and it works for me.
Dear, get rid of the jealosy, if that is indeed the problem, and help your man out, if he needs it. "Reggie, my favorite flowers are red roses", said a few weeks before your birthday works. And keep your expectations within his budget.
I got silver candlesticks at my birthday from my new bf, months after we started dating. Good choice, I still have them. He thought he was being so smart, offered to take me shopping. Took me to the high end department store, and started pointing to things. I chose several items for him to pick from, and got the candlesticks. He was happy, thought he had fooled me into picking out my own present. I was happy, I got what I wanted. To prove men are often inept, I thought he would go to the candle department and pick out two tapers to go with my present. They were on sale. Nope. But close enough, he did good..

Wow, how ungrateful can you be? Just receiving anything should be "present" enough. It isn't the present, or the money spent it is the thought behind it.
He got her roses, very expensive and beautiful, and then got her something practical that apparently he thought she needed, if she is so unhappy with the presents, then I feel sorry for her boyfriend.

Perhaps he gave her what he felt she needed. It was VERY thoughtful of him! The roses were certainly a lovely idea and the thumb drive wasn't cheap!
She should be gracious and thank him!

sometimes money can't tell a person how much they feel... sometimes the most simple gift is love...but it's the most powerful...I'm not trying to defend him or her...but all I can say is maybe he could have put more thought into it....and MAYBE
she just wants him to have a thought to get her something...I can't say for sure because I don't know them. But what I do know is love means more than great gifts...all I'm saying.

If your "sis" received a gift, then it is between her and her friend. you should not be grading the affection of one by the gifts he brings. He obviously thinks about her.
If your "sis" thinks he is one neuron short of a synapse, then she should consider her prospects. She owes his honesty the respect of honesty.

Why do you need presents for a birthday? Isn't the love of her boyfriend and the good wishes enough? Or is it a materialistic relationship where their love is measured by pointless things?

Get a good de-louser? ;)
Seriously, though, I don't think those gifts were bad (never mind that it wasn't YOUR boyfriend, as you implied in your question!). He gave your sister something expensive (roses) and useful (the drive). That sounds very mature and thoughtful.
Exactly what do you think "sucks" about them, and,
more importantly, what business is it of yours?

Guys love technical things, so probably getting her something for her computer came from his heart. Roses means he loves her. Sounds like he might be a great guy.
