Like Tony says, this is about pets for adoption originally; the expression was then,
with some irony, used to cover inanimate objects; it's not translatable directly, I think.

@ Tony On peut s'essayer avec "port" pour jeudemoter.

Sounds odd to me, too! Well, unless it's some particular FR idiom with which I am not familiar, this sounds suspiciously like a too-literal translation by someone who didn't understand what the EN really means.

good home J'ai trouvé un bon foyer dans un manuel précédent, ça me semble bizarre....

Jeu de mots It's a bit of a play on words, and I don't think it will be possible to render it that literally in FR.

When we want to give away unwanted puppies, kittens, etc. we say "Free to good home" — the equivalent to the FR "donne contre bons soins"

But I don't think that would work in this context.

It's sort of to do with 'accueillir', 'héberger', etc. — basically, what they're saying, in a humorous way, is "thank you for having bought one of our products"
