Get a fumoto valve with the hose. Drain into whatever you want, no muss no fuss. My wife does the oil changes in our daily with no issues.
I was looking at those, have you had any issues with them?
Don't do what I did once. O-ring from previous oil filter still stuck on the block and I didn't notice when installing the new one. Usually I do a quick wipe with a paper towel on the mating surface but I was pressed for time and it was starting to rain so didn't unlike the 1,000 other oil changes I've done.
Start car up. Hear a weird hissing noise. Shut car off. Realize it shot around 2 qts of oil out onto driveway that has quite a slant to it. Then it really starts raining. Can't move the car (up on ramps). No kitty litter on hand. Fun time.
Pour the oil back into the container it came in. Problem solved.
I wouldn't recommend it if the drain plug points straight down like my dad's truck. Otherwise everything I've read about them is very positive.I was looking at those, have you had any issues with them?
For those filters you can also take an old screwdriver and punch a small hole in the bottom of the filter. Oil drains out into the pan and no mess.For the oil filter (opening facing up), I use a red dixy party cup. Loosen it by hand, then put the cup around the oil filter to take it off. Any oil will drip into the cup.

Get one of these. Never worry about spilling oil again, or getting hot oil on your hands/arms.
Otherwise: cardboard, kitty litter, and getting a large drain pan will serve you well.
