I just want to ask, is it ok for Catholics to offer mass to non-Catholics? Like special intentions like birthdays or speedy recovery of health?
I just think that it's the best gift I can give to a family member or friend.

Yes, Lia, you can do this. The only precaution would be that sometimes the person himself is opposed to it, thinking that these “Catholic things” are not a good fit for him. But of course this does not matter in God’s eyes. Go ahead and offer a Mass for him anyway, just don’t tell him about it if his feelings are contrary.
And I welcome you back. It’s been a while since you posted. We like to see our old friends.

Thanks for answering my question.
Yeah, it's been a while. I've been very busy at work. 
I missed sharing my two cents as well  when I read people's queries, they help to remind me of my faith and what I might have forgotten. 
Thanks for everything!
God bless!
