I use a glass coffee table, cover it with white paper, and put as 
many lights under it as I've got.
Then also light from above.

I used this set-up with anglepoise desk lamps for the Crest UK toothpaste site:

in photoshop)

You could do this with several manual flash heads (with inexpensive 
slave units) or with table lamps.

You can also buy light tables made of white perspex moulded into a 
curve, and you light these strongly from behind. You could also shoot 
on a light box with daylight bulbs in it. Depends on the size of the 
items.
