Compatible Portable Charging Devices for iPad and iPhone

I have a 5th gen iPad and an iPhone Xs that have different connections. Is there a portable charging device that would allow me to recharge both of these without having to purchase two different portable devices?

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

New iPhone Charging Cords/Cubes Why don't the new iPhones, with their USB-C to lightning cable, come with an appropriate charging cube? We just purchased two new phones and have nothing to plug the cords into except for my iMac USB Power Adapter (which is huge and clunky). The website cites environmental concern, but I feel that's quite disingenuous. Very disappointed that we have to purchase those separately.

Can I use my old iphone charging blocks with my new iphone 15 pro (assuming I buy a USB-a to USB-c cable)? I was wondering if I can still use all of the iPhone charging blocks that I already have that have the USB-a connector.

Yes, you just need 2 different cables, not two different devices. You need a Lightning cable for the iPhone and a USB-C end cable for the iPad.
