What is a sacramental? Here's an official explanation courtesy of @catholicanswers:
.....
The 1983 Code of Canon Law (CIC) defines sacramentals as “sacred signs by which effects, especially spiritual effects, are signified in some imitation of the sacraments and are obtained through the intercession of the Church” (1166). The Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium (SC), further describes sacramentals by their ability to “signify effects, particularly of a spiritual nature, which are obtained through the intercession of the Church. By them persons are disposed to receive the chief effect of the sacraments, and various occasions in life are rendered holy” (60). Ordinarily, the person in charge of saying, making, or administering sacramentals is a cleric whom the Church has provided with the requisite power to do so (CIC 1168), and “the Apostolic See alone can establish new sacramentals, authentically interpret those already received, or abolish or change any of them” (1167, §1).

The Church prioritizes the sacramental of blessings, which includes people, food and meals, objects, and places. The act of blessing coincides with the Lord’s power to “make all things new” and for his purposes. Therefore, when a priest or deacon gives a blessing, he is renewing whatever he blesses as a consecration to God. When a bishop dedicates a new church, or a priest blesses a new chalice for use in the Mass, he is consecrating—reserving—the object for a liturgical use. Similarly, when a blessing is invoked over a meal, the special intention of praise and thanksgiving to God for the nutrition is reflective of the eucharistic meal and the heavenly banquet.
