A Housewarming Gift request in Probably Stolen can be confusing because it doesn't refer to an ordinary household item. It's actually one of the Revolution's coded Marketplace requests, and the answer is written on a document you can obtain in your shop.

Housewarming Gift Marketplace Requests
What Is a Housewarming Gift in Probably Stolen?
Housewarming Gift is the Revolution's codeword for a Security Access Card in Probably Stolen. When a Marketplace request asks for a Housewarming Gift, the actual item being requested is a Security Access Card, not furniture or a decorative gift.
The Revolution uses disguised language to communicate through Marketplace requests. Instead of naming sensitive items directly, its messages describe seemingly ordinary activities or objects.
For example, a request mentioning a last-minute Housewarming Gift is referring to an urgent need for a Security Access Card.
How to Get the Codeword List
You can decode these requests using the Codeword List, a document left by the Revolution.
The document appears on your shop counter on the first morning after you've reached 20 Revolution reputation and unlocked Marketplace Requests.
Once you have the list, you can identify what each coded request means without guessing which item the Revolution wants.
Other Revolution Codewords
Housewarming Gift isn't the only disguised term you'll encounter. The Codeword List also identifies several other expressions:
- Housewarming Gift: Security Access Card
- Birthday Party: Upcoming operation
- Gathering: Raid
- Garden: Safehouse
These phrases help explain the Revolution's messages, particularly when a Marketplace request doesn't describe its purpose directly.
How Housewarming Gift Marketplace Requests Work
Housewarming Gift requests appear through the Marketplace as part of the Revolution's coded communications.
Accepting and completing these requests can provide money and reputation rewards. However, the coded wording can make it difficult to recognize what the request involves, particularly if you're expecting an actual gift item to appear in your inventory.
If you've already completed a Housewarming Gift request and can't identify what changed, the important distinction is that Housewarming Gift isn't a separate inventory item. It's the codeword for a Security Access Card.
I'd recommend keeping the Codeword List accessible whenever you're handling Revolution Marketplace requests. Understanding the hidden meaning of each message makes it much easier to recognize what the Revolution is asking for.
