About
It happened the month before Christmas.
The tree was half-decorated. The kids were buzzing. The calendar was packed. My mind was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
And I realised — not in a dramatic moment, but in one of those quiet gut-level ways — that another year had flown by.
A blur of school runs, bills, late nights, early mornings, deadlines, commitments, compromises…
And somewhere in all of that noise, I hadn’t shown the woman I love just how much she means to me.
Not truly.
Not in the way she feels it.
I love her with everything in me. Anyone who knows me knows that.
But love isn’t always loud. And real life has a way of numbing the soft places in us.
So as Christmas approached, I sat down to choose her present…
And nothing came.
Nothing felt right.
Not jewellery.
Not perfume.
Not some fancy experience.
Because the truth was:
I didn’t want to buy her something.
I wanted to show her something.
I wanted her to feel loved — in the way she actually recognises love.
Her love language? Acts of Service.
Not roses.
Not grand gestures.
Not “break glass for special occasions.”
But the real stuff.
The everyday devotion.
The little things that whisper: “I see you. I’m with you. You matter.”
So I started a list.
One small idea turned into another.
And then another.
And before I knew it, I wasn’t writing a gift list — I was writing a map.
A map of all the ways I could show her love, not just talk about it.
Warm her car on cold mornings
Set her coffee beside her before she wakes
Restock her skincare
Fold her towels the way she likes
Take one task off her plate without mentioning it
Make her world softer, lighter, steadier
The list didn’t stop.
I wrote until the page was full… and then I kept going.
These weren’t chores.
They were acts of devotion.
When I finished, I realised this wasn’t just a Christmas present.
It was a way of loving intentionally in a world full of distractions.
So I printed them out, cut them into little cards, and wrapped them for her.
I looked everywhere for something like it — but nothing existed.
There were journals, games, books, prompts…
But nothing practical.
Nothing simple.
Nothing for men who want to show love, not just talk about it.
And after it came up in a few conversations — friends asking, “Bro, where did you get these cards? My partner would love this.” —
something clicked.
If my relationship needed this…
maybe other men’s did too.
And that was the seed of DVTD.
A brand built on one belief:
Love should be shown, not just felt, andnd devotion is a daily choice.
DVTD stands for Devoted.
Not perfect. Not poetic.
Just intentional.
It’s a reminder to slow down, step up, and love her in the way she actually receives love — through small, meaningful acts of service.
The DVTD “Acts of Service for Her” deck is the gift I first created for the woman I love.
A physical reminder on the bedside table, waiting each morning:
Shuffle.
Draw a card.
Do the act.
Don’t say a word.
Let devotion speak.
Our hope is simple.
That men everywhere — tired, busy, good-hearted men — can reconnect with their partners in a way that feels real, grounded, and intentional.
And that women everywhere feel seen not just in the big moments…
but in the quiet, ordinary ones.
Because love isn’t loud.
Love is consistent.
Love is shown.
Designed for Devotion.
That’s DVTD.
