The cheapest and easiest way would be to use a smart plug. You can program it so if you come home past a certain time, it will turn the outlet on. I have a lamp in our living room set up like this and it’s really nice to have.

Yep, you can set a defined boundary around your home and make all kinds of rules around it. So when you enter the boundary, the smart plug will automatically do whatever you have it set for. You can make rules based on time, weather and even what other plugs are doing. I have ones from Feit that I got at Costco. I think it was 3 for $20. They are also great for Christmas lights because you can set them on a schedule.
