"Do you wish Christmas shopping could touch your heart instead of giving you a heart attack?"
Is that statement correct? I'm thinking "Touch" and "Giving" should not be right. It should be X instead of Y - and therefore, should be something like "touching your heart" instead of "Giving you a heart attack" - but somehow it doesn't sound right. Can someone give me the right answer and theoretical explanation behind it?
Thanks

I see no problem in your question. Correct idiom is "X instead of Y" and "do X instead of doing Y"

Can you point me to a book/article that specifies "do X instead of doing Y" is correct? I'm trying to find a good theoretical backing on this.
