The princess doesn't want a gem on her finger that has been cultivated by a nerd and comes with a "vegan, soy-based, cruelty free" approval on it. She wants a warlord to return from conquering and pillaging foreign lands, leaving rivers of blood in his wake, to deliver the prize to his queen as a symbol of her value and his material investment and dedication to her.
Obviously no woman in her right mind is consciously thinking that, but that's the psychology behind it. "Bloodless" is icky.
The hobbyist solution would be to find some obscure product on AliExpress with a holder for 2xAAAs and a 5V boost regulator with a USB connector. It's janky and inefficient, but that'll power your board, or your iPhone.
The 'proper' solution would be to then take this prototype to an optimised design in your ECAD software of choice, integrating a AAA holder and choosing an appropriate regulator, and having some PCBs assembled.
I'm not sure what else you could want. If the latter sounds daunting to you, it would be very easy for even an inexperienced EE on Fiverr to whip up for you.
I say this as someone who shares this mindset. It is as shocking to me that you would queue up for a dangerous vaccine, support mass 3rd world immigration, consume slop full of soy and seed oils, etc as it no doubt is to you that I would be an openly racist anti-vaxer who gets his steaks and eggs straight from the farm (and would my milk too, if it wasn't illegal here).
It doesn't help at all that the champion of pasteurization was one Lord Rothschild, whose only two addresses to UK parliament were for Zionism and the prohibition of raw milk. If one is considered a program of genocidal supremacist hatred of my people, it's a very tough sell that the other is supposed to help keep me safe and healthy.
