Portable wifi light switch that just plugs into regular power outlet

Question

I'm looking for a basic light switch that works over WiFi to turn on a smart WiFi bulb.  But the light switch will just be sitting on a desk next to a bunch of other equipment.  Is there a WiFi smart light switch out there that just plugs into a regular power outlet and only does the wifi part, not worrying about physically hooking up to the wires in the wall at all?

If you don't need it to be actually WiFi (802.11) but just wireless then the Ikea Tradfri range of bulbs do what you seem to be asking.
They are ZigBee based but don't need a hub (though can use one). You can pair with 3 different types of switch

simple on/off (with press/hold for dimming)
rotary dimmer switch
5 button switch (on/off button, dim up/dim down and colour temp up/down buttons)
