Dutch term or phrase: doet deugd
Website for a Belgian company that makes wood-burning stoves, amongst other things. At the end of each section there's a comment that's underlined and is presumably a link to another page where you can order something, contact the company or get more info. So after extolling the virtues of this particular stove (the model name of which starts with D), the underlined sign-off comment is:

Die D doet deugd. Ik wil die D.

(!) I'm not necessarily looking for an equally alliterative solution. At the moment I have 'D sounds like just the thing for me' or 'D sounds like just what I'm looking for', but any catchier suggestions would be welcome!
