Resist the urge to buy a fancy carved wooden pipe valet, a paper plate works just fine and turns into a funnel very easily.
I like the looks of some of the pipe valets I've seen, but they're larger than I want since I smoke on a TV tray table and the laptop takes up most of the space already.

Ahh lol thanks @Yakster ! It’s just a little Dixie snack bowl, the kids usually use these. Works great. You think that’s something, you should see my “Tamp” and “Nail” 😉

Yak is talking about this. Sure beats dropping stuff. Lot of things you can do without, fancy leather pipe rolls, pipe stands, food, clean underwear...but why? LOL....

A little Frog in the Stanwell Brushed Black. I got that pipe a few years ago on sale for about $45. Excellent pipe at any price.

I feel bad about getting Professor @Stubble grief about his fancy pants pipe accessories when I realize that I already have a pipe valet; it's just that I'm using a Coca-Cola metal serving tray I picked up at a thrift store instead if a nice, purpose built wood pipe valet.
I did pick up a nice leather gentleman's pipe roll that I keep my pipe tools in and it came with a nice small leather matt that I can put under my pipe when I'm loading it to catch any stray tobacco and funnel it back into the bowl or the tobacco container. I have a larger leather matt and I converted a pipe sock into a pipe rest by taking some old, moth-eaten rice and putting it in a Ziploc bag inside the pipe sock. I also use a thick brown coffee sample tray as a boat to hold the pipe rest, lighter, and tamper to keep them from rolling off my small smoking tray and it also works well when loading a pipe to catch stray tobacco and funnel it back into the tobacco container, in this case a Mylar bag on Lakeland Dark blended Kentucky leaf.
Since I was afraid this tobacco would ghost a pipe, both due to the Lakeland essence and the DFK tobacco, I am smoking it in my MM Natural Morgan Corn Cob Pipe, paired with black coffee from Ethiopia. The pictures show a few more of my pipe tampers, take notes because this will be on the test.

In a Beautiful pipe from @84CJ7, the last of some Early Morning Pipe that @Captain_Call sent a ways back when I first showed interest in a pipe. Thank You Gentlemen.
The pipe, OH My, not only looks beautiful, but smokes fantastic

I love EMP, Ron. I've heard G. L. Pease - Chelsea Morning is even better so I'm going to give that a try since I'm almost to the end of my jar of old Dunhill EMP.
Tonight I'm sparking up my Falcon with KBV Bright Star, tasty stuff. Thanks for the tamper, @Diver43 Ron.

Nice, you have the same pipe valet that I use when I'm cutting plugs.
^^ I’m going to have to go and Google that entire statement right there....
