Bitcoin has surged this year from less than $1,000 to $17,000. Here's a list of what you can buy for the holidays with the cryptocurrency:

A Cryptomatic watch

This Japanese-made watch is sold exclusively in bitcoin. "No other forms of payment will be accepted," the website says. However, prices are still listed in U.S. dollars because "we are still far from the day when products and services will be priced exclusively in cryptocurrency." Plus, bitcoin can rise or fall $1,000 in 24 hours. But if you would like to show how much you believe in holding — "hodl" in bitcoin slang — the digital currency, Cryptomatic's Hodler watch tells time with both binary and decimal hour markers. The watch comes in silver, silver and black, rose gold and rose gold and black. The binary-only Cryptomat Series watch is already sold out. Price: $819 to $849 Buy now: The Hodler Series watch

A few hotel nights

Pay for your weeklong vacation stay in the Bahamas with bitcoin through Expedia.com. The Expedia web page for "Bitcoin Terms & Conditions" also reveals quite a bit about the benefits and challenges of transacting in bitcoin. Expedia's bitcoin services are powered by Coinbase. Customers paying with bitcoin will be redirected to Coinbase's website. There is no canceling bitcoin purchases. "Bitcoin transactions are final," the company's website says. "This is inherent in the nature of the Bitcoin network, not a policy set by Expedia." However, refunds are still possible if you have an email address and Coinbase account. Expedia also points out that bitcoin transactions have inherent fees (about $14.17 as of Monday) and transactions can take about an hour before they are confirmed. That's when bitcoin "miners" around the world are working hard to verify your travel purchase and write it into a permanent "blockchain." Price: Varies Buy Now: Hotel stay

Bitcoin lavender castile soap

This handmade soap bar from California-based Bitsoaps mixes hemp seed oil and castile soap with lavender essential oil into the shape of a coin with a bitcoin print. Bitsoaps also sells an ethereum goat's milk soap bar and a litecoin castile soap bar. And of course, Bitsoaps accepts bitcoin via Bitpay, although the transaction fee to use bitcoin may cost more than the $4.69 soap bar. The median bitcoin transaction fee on Monday was $14.17, according to BitInfoCharts. PayPal and most major credit cards are also accepted. Domestic shipping in the U.S. is $5.84 for up to seven bars, and free for eight or more bars, according to Bitsoaps' website. Price: $4.69 Buy Now: Bitcoin lavender castile soap

Bitcoin miner-themed cardholder

Bitcoin "miners" create new coins using computing power, but this cardholder features a throwback to the pick-and-shovel miners of the gold rush. The "leather like" holder fits five to six cards, according to seller BTC Trinkets' website. In case BTC Trinkets runs out of stock — there are only seven cardholders left as of publication — the website sells a slew of other bitcoin-themed products such as keychains, money clips and hats. Items ship from Finland, and bitcoin is the only form of payment accepted, according to the website. Price: $19.99 Buy Now: Bitcoin miner cardholder
