Thanks! I'm glad to see the recommendation for Nekteck; they looked kind of generic knock-off-y to me, but I went for https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ a while ago, and have been very happy with it as essentially my sole charger.
I'm going through old stuff in preparation for a move and you wouldn't believe how many USB-A wall warts I've got shoved in the bottoms of boxes and drawers. IMO they should have kept it included for ~3 years of the USB-C transition because now people get a USB-C cable but only have old USB-A chargers, but long term I think it's the right move to stop including chargers with every new device.
You can go on Amazon and get a multi-port USB-C + 3x USB-A charger with 60W power delivery support for $22 [1]. I've been using a pair of these for years (one under my desk, one behind my nightstand) and they're really nice for charging multiple devices than the individual wall warts. Phone, laptop/tablet, headphones, watch, power banks. I like it a lot better than a power strip with four separate wall warts plugged in next to each other.

(One of my chargers is Nekteck branded, the other is Monoprice, but at least externally appears to be identical)
