 |
|
In all, there are 1，500 card designs to choose from, covering all kinds of special occasions. So if you want to get ahead of yourself for 2013, you know where to visit. You can even choose to be reminded of those important dates every year.
What does the underlined part mean? Is it naturally used here?
thanks!

"get ahead of yourself" means "do things in advance of when you would normally do them / in advance of when you need to do them", more or less.
The sentence would make most sense if it were written in 2012, and therefore suggesting that people buy cards in 2012, early for 2013.
And, yes, reasonably natural.
Hope helps,
Ian
