The list of things you can buy with cryptocurrency Bitcoin has just gotten a little longer — and sexier. Digital gift card platform Gyft which accepts bitcoins for gift card purchases now lets you buy Victoria's Secret lingerie.

This is a welcome win for Bitcoin, which has been pummeled by news of China's bank and search engine Baidu shunning the cryptocurrency. The price of Bitcoin, which peaked at $1,200 in early December, plunged to around $700 after the news (it currently stands at $705 at online currency exchange MtGox)

Gyft is a digital platform, also available as a mobile app for Android and iPhone, which allows you to manage your gift cards. It's connected to big brands such as Amazon and Target, but it also receives a lot of press for being one of the rare such outlets that accepts Bitcoin.

You can get a Victoria's Secret gift card (and pay for it with bitcoins) here.
