Replacing a few outlets with USB outlets. Just plug in and charge, never have to worry about finding the adapter again.
You can get them at any Home Depot or Lowe's. This is what they look like). They are very easy to install, just make sure you've cut power to the outlet by turning off the respective breaker/fuse.

And lots of velcro tape to hold the AC adapter to the wall behind the board.
I have a few of these installed and they work great! Link
You should get a replacement outlet with USB power outlets. Something like this:

I just bought two of these off amazon. They charge faster.

I put these USB outlets in a few areas around the house where I typically charge my phone or am sitting for awhile - near the beds, at the kitchen island and drop zone, by the recliner and bar, etc. Make sure to get ones that provide a high-mAh output. Mine put out 2.4mAh at each port, not total. I didn't bother with QuickCharge compatible but you could.
I just built my house a few years ago and had Cat6 Ethernet wired to each room along with RG6 coax. I do wish I'd have had the contractors put in conduit to make running future lines easier, so you could consider that. (Home theater down the line? Run conduit so you can hide your cables and receiver elsewhere! etc.)
If you're handy or run power tools in the garage often, consider a subpanel for the garage with some 20A circuits. I trip my 15A circuits once or twice a summer when I have a shop vac, table saw, and maybe one other device running simultaneously, and when I eventually get into welding I'll be limited by my lack of 220V out in the garage.
If you want security cameras outside, you could think about running Ethernet out to some soffits and using PoE compatible cameras.
That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Good luck!
Not sure why you were down voted.
Anywho, these are the ones I installed around my house:

Easy to install, too. You don't really have to have an electrician do it although you can if you want to be safe. You can always watch a few videos on youtube on how to install these as long as you follow simple rules like "pretend the wire is always hot" (kind of like pretending the gun is always loaded, even when it's not).
Basically, shut power off at the breaker for the plug you're working on, take off faceplate, pull wiring out, take note of cables, colors, etc and connect them to new plug. My wires were white, black, and no-color (copper, which was ground/neutral).
CHEAP OPTION: Find a USB powered speaker you like and is in your budget and just get a cheap 2 port USB wall plug. I wouldn't mess with splitters/adapters when you're talking about power. It won't sound great because you really can't get a whole lot of power through USB. It only runs 5V at 2A which is 10W.
WHAT I DID IN MY KITCHEN: I bought one of these outlets to run 2x 120v plugs and 2x USB plugs. This solves your problem if you're handy. you get the 120v for a nice speaker and USB integrated to run your dot.
BETTER OPTION: Figure out a budget. If you're looking for under $50 I'd get the highest reviewed portable speaker that has a headphone jack on it. Get a 2x usb wall plug and 2 cables that are the same length and a 1' acc cable.
Amazon sells a version with two outlets and two USB ports for about $12 each.

Here was my solution.

"Normal" depends on what outlet you buy. My outlets put out 4.0a total. Phones usually take 1.0a. Tablets usually take 2.1a.

I have and like this outlet a lot. Bit more streamlined than that outlet cover.

Maybe skip the brick and get something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAZIU5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_iy4nybNHD8GA4
They look like this.
Here's an example of one with USB ports.
It's one of those things: There are probably more pressing issues in your house, but it's a relatively inexpensive and simple change. In my case, one of the outlets I'll use regularly is worn out, so I'm going to replace it with a USB-port outlet, since I often charge my tablet there. Over time we'll replace other switches and outlets in that room with the decorator style.
That looks like absolute shit, like holy hell.
Couldn't even be arsed to align the damn things.
Like, for $20 you could accomplish exactly what he did, and retain your original outlets.
Comments on this one show it delivering 2A to both ports:

It looks like [these are 2.1 each] (http://www.amazon.com/Cooper-Wiring-Devices-TR7745W-BOX-Combination/dp/B00B1GHC58/) if that helps any.EDIT 1: On further reading, that is incorrect. My apologies.
EDIT 2: [These are rated at 4.0 (2.0 each)] (http://www.amazon.com/ENERLITES-Charger-Receptacle-Tamper-Safety/dp/B00IAZIU5Y/ref=pd_cp_hi_2) which seems just about your speed.^1
1: And mine, they're going in my wish list.
Why not just replace the outlet with a USB outlet?
