We have a couple of handy little garlic mincers.  The one on the left is from Lee Valley and I love it, but it's pricey - I think around $20 or $25.  The one on the right is the Paderno Garlic Twist.  It does the job too, although the garlic isn't quite as fine.  It comes with a much smaller price tag, though.
