You can give the ingredients a spin in a food processor. It aerates and mixes the ingredients just as well (if not better) than a sifter.

Try a spaghetti strainer or if you have a splatter screen also before I had one we would aireate the flour just with a fork that's the only reason it has to be sifted. just put some flour in a bowl and pretend like you are beating eggs.
My husband was a fine dining chef taught me a few tricks of the trade.
EDIT:
Aubrey is right! Now that I seen that I remember that is how Alton Brown prefers to aireate his flour. Aubrey deserves the best answer on this one.

I just use something like a sieve or tea strainer, anything with a fine mesh. My sifter is totally shot.

Use a strainer with wire mesh. Tap the strainer to sift the flour (or whatever) through it.

Just use a wire whisk if it's flour. All you need to do is stir it around a bit with the whisk to aeriate it.

If you have a colandar that will work, but the holes are a bit bigger.
