own / peculiar
'eigen' and 'hauseigen' both have to do with belonging. 'eigen' is very general and can refer to a person or a thing: 'mein eigenes Zimmer' (my own room), 'deine eigene Idee' (your own idea). 'hauseigen' is much more specific. It means that something belongs to a particular company, hotel, publishing house, hospital, or similar institution, or is made there in-house. Learners may confuse the words because both express 'belonging to someone or something'. For personal possession, use 'eigen'; for offers or products of an institution, 'hauseigen' fits.
