Actually there is a trick that works amazingly well in DMM when it comes to Nazuna Cakes.
The cakes give only 1%
But in the crafting system, there are two items. One that gives 5% of ANY relationship (Normal, and Bloomed as well) and one that gives 10%.
Each of this gifts can be crafted. I think its 50 of ANY standard gifts for the 5% and 100% for the 10%.
This is a great way if you have hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of the gifts sitting in you inventory, especially since the Bloom gifts are quite hard to come by (they will be added to the Gathering as well, but still its RnG chance).

So yes, both Nazuna cakes, and all the crappy "2%" relationship ones will come in handy !
