Sacramento artist Sara Zaffa started Three Boys in part to raise funds for autism awareness, and the fragrant, all natural soaps have become immensely popular in the process. Mom will love the beautiful, handmade soaps, including sweet watermelon with poppy seeds, vanilla and coffee, and the delightful raspberry and honeysuckle; Zaffa also creates creamy sugar scrubs, like citrus-herb and chamomile and orange peel. All sales of the gentle and soothing Green Tea Artisan Soap, made with organic goat and almond milks and organic coconut, sweet almond and avocado oils, go directly to local charity Sacramento Autistic Spectrum and Special Needs Alliance. SASSNA assists adults and children, like Zaffa's son Ian, free of charge. Three Boys' soaps are available through Zaffa's website and can be purchased on most Friday and Saturday evenings at the West Wind 6 Drive-In in Sacramento.

Taste as many as you'd like, including a seasonal specialty made with fresh cornflowers and other flower petals.
