Flash Cards work pretty good.

They way I learned Hiragana was to practice, practice, practice. The more you write them and read them the better you will remember them.
When I first started learning Japanese I wrote lines of the characters, much like an elementary school student would learn how to write english characters.
My Japanese Professor uses pictures that somehow incorporate the Hiragana or Katakana character in them (for example the Hiragana for NU looked like a noodle). This seemed to work for a fair amount of people so maybe you could try finding something like that.

I recommend writing the characters because when you do, you are not only learning how to write them, but you are also learning how to recognize them at the same time.

if ur a mnemonics person, try
Memorising the Hiragana and Katakana - Contents
but i find mnemonics actually make my life harder sometimes.

most importantly, write all freakin' 46 of them like at least 5 times everyday or at least 20 times each week. Don't forget to try reading to improve character recognition which also improves how you write. i notice that the more i write, the better my handwriting (meaning that it doesn't look all americanized)

I agree with the above post - writing is the key. Don't just look at the letters and try to memorize them, actually write them over and over. I learned Hiragana in two weeks and Katakana in another two weeks just by continuously writing them and by using flash cards. My Japanese instructor also used little pictures or stories to go along with each letter, like the letter for 'he' (へ) would be "haystack". Silly, but it works.

The same works for kanji; I find that writing them helps much more than just looking at them.

The website About.com always has some helpful techniques in learning how to write in Japanese. Here is a window from the site
