Tell me, plz, you need to make a socket - 2 USB outputs - on the cabinet above the bed to charge phones at night. Those. on the one hand there should be two 2 USB "inputs", on the other hand - 220v. What to buy on ebay / dx in order to organize this? It is clear that the easiest option is to buy a couple of these pieces, but it will look completely ugly. What else can you see?

The best option: This or more powerful , disassemble, hook two wires and through the button to the USB connectors

Tyts buy it, and the connectors from us, then place it as it is more convenient for you, you can safely attach an LED strip to it, since you can find it for 5v, and you will have a beautiful backlight

I ripped off the charger from the iPad and pushed it into the socket housing, into the outer cover of which I simply pasted a double USB-female for 60 rubles.
Total:
Rosette of the desired shape and volume - 220r.
A new outer cover for the socket instead of a damaged one - 45 rubles.
Double USB-female — 60 rub.
Inside, everything is fixed with hot glue in a large volume.
Ventilation/cooling - through the cuts at the top and bottom of the outer panel of the outlet.
All work for two hours.
The biggest problem is to make all the cuts nice and neat. I got it the second time.

And if the USB hub is simple for charging, picking it up according to the principle to make it look better?

It can take a 5V 2-3 ampere switching power supply (many externally powered USB hubs are equipped with these) and several USB connectors.
We cut off the connector from the power supply, solder the required length of a 2-wire cable (parallel in the required amount), and solder the USB connectors to the ends. A little heat shrink or everyone's favorite blue duct tape = PROFIT!
The cost is about 300 wooden ones, plus or minus 50.
