    The US$22-$26 Lattice iCEstick has a built-in USB programmer.  There are other Lattice iCE40 development boards that also include a USB programmer.  iCEstick has been unavailable for a long time, but there's now stock at various USA distributors.  I don't know what availability there is in other countries.

     

    All these iCE40 boards use an FTDI FT2232H or similar serial USB device.  You could make your own programmer using an Adafruit FT232H breakout board (I use one of these to program Xilinx chips using JTAG) or an FTDI serial cable (you need the version that does SPI).
